CB Eli Apple (All B1G, National Champion, Los Angeles Chargers)

Being a cornerback makes him the Apple Picker.

Orange you glad I didn't make an Apple joke...

Eli Apple has had a solid afternoon so far. Has had the best overall day among the #OhioState commits and targets. #buckeyes

He studies film. Good!

@KyleRowland Eli Apple looks very good in one-on-one coverage. Solid in not allowing the WR to get any separation. Shutting down Tyler Boyd.

Looks like he's had a very strong week at practice.

Moved to the main forum since he is now on campus.

Was invisible in the All Star game. For a DB, that's perfect. They went after the nations #1 rated CB the UA game but stayed away from Eli in the Army game. I hope the guys on the roster are ready to compete because he is a lockdown guy in the making.

Was invisible in the All Star game. For a DB, that's perfect. They went after the nations #1 rated CB the entire game instead of Eli's side. Hargreaves was up for the challenge but it was quietly pleasing to know they didnt want any of Eli. I hope the guys on the roster are ready to compete because he is a lockdown guy in the making.

He probably seemed invisible at the Under Armour game because... well, he wasn't in that game (the one with Hargreaves). He played in the Army game, haha.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Yep, I combined the two (Apple and Burrows). Fact still remains that he is a lockdown type of CB.

 

[Taosman]

He's got the biggest rep coming in. But Burrows surprised with his cover skills.

 

[RB07OSU]

Exactly...the best type of DB is one you don't hear from, almost the same as an OL. Means nobody was going his way, much like how Shawn Springs was for much of his career here. Can't wait to see what Eli does here, he has been a Buckeye since the 8th grade basically.

Exactly...the best type of DB is one you don't hear from.

I totally disagree. I think we'll all hear his name for 3/4 years. He seems like a good kid from a great family.
