“Why did I do it today?” Dean asked during a phone interview with Cleveland.com on Sunday evening, “because today felt like a good day.”

For Ohio State, it was a great one.

The Buckeyes secured one of the top emerging prospects in the country, and they landed Dean’s services before his recruitment really took off. Dean had offers from Florida, Miami (Fla.), Mississippi State and Temple, but said he hasn’t been able to shake the feeling of Ohio State since the summer.

Dean made a return visit to Columbus on Oct. 26 for the Buckeyes home game against Penn State, which was a night contest. Ohio State beat the Nittany Lions 63-14, but Dean said the game’s atmosphere blew him away.

“It was unlike anything I have ever seen,” Dean said. “I looked up into the stadium, and it was really big, and there wasn’t one empty seat in the entire place. I never really saw anything like that in my entire life.”

Dean initially called Ohio State tight ends coach Tim Hinton to inform him of his decision to commit, then Hinton put the cornerback on the phone with head coach Urban Meyer.

“He was really excited and he congratulated me,” Dean said. “Coach Meyer said he was going to come visit me and get to know me better. It feels really great to have my recruitment over so I can focus on me, my team and school.”

Why the Buckeyes? Why now?

“Because you don’t get a lot of opportunities as good as Ohio State,” Dean said. “I know that’s where I want to go, so I didn’t feel like waiting anymore. It is a great program and I am exciting. It feels good to officially be a Buckeye.”
