So how good is Jayme? I've never seen him in person and he's ranked anywhere from a low 3 star and a top 150 player.

One thing I can say is he has only been playing football for three years and seems to be improving every year. I think his ceiling extremely high.

Irish's Thompson switches to OSU
BY DAVID BRIGGS
BLADE SPORTS WRITER

Jayme Thompson loved everything about West Virginia -- except the distance from home.

A father-son bond led the Central Catholic football star to commit to Ohio State this week, becoming the latest high-profile recruit coach Urban Meyer has convinced to switch their pledge to the Buckeyes.

"Jayme and I have a great, great relationship," said Jayme's father, Deon Thompson. "I just don't want people looking at it like we chose Ohio State because it's a better place than West Virginia. ... It really came down to proximity to home and just being able to play in Ohio."

Thompson, a 6-foot-2, 182-pound free safety, committed to West Virginia on Feb. 2. After Meyer finished scrambling to secure his first class of recruits, Ohio State redoubled its efforts to land Thompson. OSU offered the Central junior a scholarship last month and Thompson committed after a campus visit over the weekend. He also had offers from Nebraska, Missouri, Louisville, Vanderbilt, Illinois, Toledo, Bowling Green, and Buffalo.

Thompson called his change of heart "bittersweet" because of the relationships he formed with second-year Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen and his staff.

He said he could not pass on the opportunity to play for his home-state school.

"West Virginia did a good job of getting a head start on a guy like him and then the other schools took notice and offers kept coming in," Central coach Greg Dempsey said. "That didn't prevent anybody from offering. Ohio State did their research, did their evaluation. They move at a different speed than a lot of schools, and quite honestly, they can. It's Ohio State."

Thompson, ranked a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, said he expects to remain a safety at OSU -- and make his presence felt promptly. He said OSU co-defensive coordinator Everett Withers, who coaches the safeties, told him to "come in ready to play."

"They want him to be ready," Deon Thompson said. "They would definitely prefer not to redshirt him."
