BuckeyeXtra - The Columbus Dispatch : Chillicothe punter commits to Ohio StateChillicothe punter commits to Ohio State
Friday, July 3, 2009
Drew Basil, a kicker-punter from Chillicothe, toured Ohio State yesterday, then became the eighth commitment to the 2010 recruiting class.
"I grew up as an Ohio State fan, and my parents and I had talked about (the possibility of committing) before today," Basil said. "But the tour I got, it just made us say 'wow' even more."
Basil, 6 feet 2 and 190 pounds, told coach Jim Tressel his decision in person. Though the Buckeyes project Basil primarily as a kicker (he was 8 of 12 on field-goal attempts last season), he had a 39.8-yard punting average.
