Visiting for the Penn State game per Dohn.

Two things:

A) Want, he is mean, physical, plays really well with his hands/pad level, and has a good motor.
B) This makes me think of what could Rutgers could be if they lock their own back yard down

High on my board as well. Glad to see @MSURacerDT55 agree.

Would be a huge get, really could be an excellent compliment to the DL we brought in the last couple of classes.

He'll be in AA this weekend. His HS coach is the older brother of UM's LB coach. Also a teammate of UM commit Jordan Morant. Has mentioned that he would like to play both football and baseball in college.

Malone is a big-time baseball prospect, first and foremost. He is ranked the No. 1 first baseman in the class of 2021 by Perfect Game. He plays first base, third base and pitcher, and hit .330, 4 home runs and 27 RBIs as a freshman playing freshman baseball. He also closed two games as a pitcher.

I guess he wants to see Ohio State 2 weekends in a row

Anyone seen any comments from him post the UM game? Had to have helped OSU. He is my #1 get.

 

[EasternBuck]

I’ll go in the other direction. I know UM didn’t look good, or relevant for that matter, but that can be used as a tool to make him believe he has a path to early playing time. Sounds as though he has solid internal connections to UM as well. Looks like the type of recruitment that one game will have little impact on. But, one positive we have is Larry Johnson. UM has no one on their staff capable of refining a defensive lineman like coach Johnson. Maybe that wins out in the end.

You can get early playing time here at OSU as well since we rotate D-linemen constantly and be coached by one of the best ever...among many advantages of playing for the Bucks.

Top contenders: Ohio State, Rutgers, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Notre Dame

Recruiting outlook: Malone’s recruitment has not changed much since the beginning of the year. There are a lot of schools involved in Malone’s recruitment but Ohio State has s strong foothold. Rutgers is building a lot of momentum in the state, so that will be something to keep an eye on. More SEC programs will be in the mix once the recruitment dead period is lifted and Malone can start taking visits.

Farrell’s take: I’m going with the Buckeyes here as they are just recruiting at the next level compared to everyone else.

Looks like the southern schools are pushing the baseball angle and with the local school Rutgers its relationships. We need to get Greg Beals in on this one along with the recruit chat group.This guy is high priority.

Let them focus on baseball we will focus on national picture and making it in the NFL.
