Love this commit! You can tell Tyquan is an outstanding kid and has a great support system. Beyond that, what a talent...we seriously lucked out with Neal decommiting, as I truly would take Tyquan over Neal any day. I think Spence will develop into an every down DE as he gets bigger and builds more consistency in the run game, leaving the door open to Tyquan to get some PT at Viper. Huge get and welcome aboard! :osu:

Interesting quote in the article that Lewis sees himself playing LB, but not sure if the coaches have communicated that to him or if it's merely his view. I think most have him pegged for the hybrid position, so maybe that position is what he is referencing as opposed to a typical LB recruit.

Buckeye Nation has grown stronger as the quest for an elite defensive line has taken another step in the right direction. The Buckeyes and Coach Urban Meyer have landed commitment #17 of the 2013 class from DE Tyquan Lewis of Tarboro High School in Tarboro, NC. Lewis announced his commitment this afternoon from his high school on his team?s bye week but has been ready to make the call for a few weeks now. Buckeye DB coach, Everett Withers, has a connection to the state of North Carolina; and that connection has continued to pay off as the Buckeyes land their first prospect from the Palmetto State in the 2013 class.

Tarboro's Tyquan Lewis chooses Ohio State
By Justin Hite

Tyronda Whitaker reluctantly allowed her son to play football when he was five years old.

But standing next to what is now a 6-foot-4, 225-pound defensive end, Whitaker was consumed by tears of joy Thursday while a smile that her son, Tarboro?s Tyquan Lewis, couldn?t fake overwhelmed his face.

Lewis verbally committed to play collegiate football at Ohio State over North Carolina and LSU.

?Even though Ohio State is 10 hours away, I still feel that me and my family will always have a connection that no one can break,? Lewis said. ?Honest to God, we?ll just always have that bond.?

Although Lewis is much older than his brothers, he grew up in a single-parent home with his three younger siblings. The decision to leave them for an out-of-state school was Lewis? biggest hurdle. He didn?t want to leave, but he knew that it was necessary.

?It?s part of growing up,? Lewis said. ?I can?t stay with my mom forever. I can?t stay with them forever. We all have to grow up one day. I just came to my senses that it?s going to happen one day, and you don?t want to pass up opportunities. You have to go and get things in life.?

Lewis, who has helped Tarboro win two of its three consecutive NCHSAA 2-A state championships, was 
considered to be a four-star defensive end.

Along with his final three choices, Lewis also considered Ole Miss and Vanderbilt.

Ultimately, his mother had to be comfortable with the decision.

She gave him her blessing after the two visited Columbus, Ohio together.

?I?m just so proud of him and overwhelmed with all of the emotions and everything he (has) been through,? said Whitaker, who didn?t go with Lewis on his first trip to Ohio State. ?Never in a million years did I think my child would be a top-recruited football prospect.?
