Re: Larry Johnson factored heavily in the Buckeyes landing Potter, a four-star defensive end who is ranked as the No. 330 overall player in his class and the ninth-best prospect in the state of Ohio.
“As soon as (Johnson) promised me he’d be there until I leave, I was sold,” Potter told Eleven Warriors when he committed in April. "[That's] huge because our relationship is so good."

As a side note it is good to know Larry Johnson plans on sticking around a few more years too.

I'm really happy about Potter, who should be a fine player for us. But I'm overjoyed about what Coach Johnson told him.

I said it at the beginning of the year and I feel that way even more now: A DE class of Harrison, Stover and Potter by staying in Ohio would be a huge win and amazing class at the position. Glad it came to fruition and Noah is a huge part of the reason I felt that way. I think he is severely underrated and could end up being the best DE of the bunch...and I think he is more game ready. Very excited to have Mr. Potter in this class.

NOAH POTTER CHOSE OHIO STATE TO PLAY FOR LARRY JOHNSON, WHOM HE CALLS THE BEST DEFENSIVE LINE COACH “IN THE HISTORY OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL”

100815_h.jpg


Noah Potter grew up an Ohio State fan surrounded by a family full of fanatics.

He remembers exactly where he was sitting for what he now calls the “worst day of my life.” Potter, relaxing in his living room on Dec. 7, 2013, already had his Christmas tree up. He wanted a two-week-early present: a chance for the Buckeyes to play for the national championship.

The next three-and-a-half hours, Potter watched with despair as Mark Dantonio and Michigan State pulled off a 34-24 upset in the Big Ten title game, handing Ohio State its first loss of the season. He still recalls the “awful” feeling he had when Braxton Miller couldn’t convert a read option on 4th-and-2 midway through the fourth quarter.

“I was so sad because I knew we were going to make the national championship if we won it, but we lost,” Potter told Eleven Warriors. “So, that was really sad.”

Like many teenagers who grew up in northeast Ohio, Potter adores the in-state power that he grew up rooting for. He always wanted to suit up in scarlet and gray and run out of the corner tunnel at Ohio Stadium in front of more than 100,000 fans. On Oct. 28, 2017, Potter finally got the opportunity, receiving an offer from Ohio State.

Six months later he announced his commitment, posting a graphic of himself flexing while wearing a No. 97 jersey. Above him in the visual were Cameron Heyward, Joey Bosa and Nick Bosa. Both in the caption and in lettering on the graphic, Potter wrote that he was committed to Ohio State.

Truly, though, he committed to Larry Johnson.

“I would go where Larry Johnson was,” Potter said. “I'll just keep it as simple as that.”

He must not have hit many camps because i've always thought he was the best DE in the state, and Cade was the best overall player as the gatorade POY reflects, these are the two players that are closest to seeing the field as freshmen... Cade on SPT and Potter may crack d-line rotation both just need to add strength.
