LB/DE Mark Johnson (official thread)

They've probably been scooped again, and they just don't know it.

lagunasurf confirmed it with Coach Fickell - see grad's post about halfway down page 15 of this thread. I think that's about all we need to hear.

Not intended to dampen anyone's enthusiasm or dancing bananas - but,

why is this not showing as a verbal on the pay for info networks?

That is a long flight back to Cali and a long day...I wouldn't blame him one bit for not taking calls tonight

Does anybody actually know what time they leave Columbus? He may have not even arrived home yet, or he just got home and is settling down a moment before taking calls.

I know I have nothing to add but I still had to post something. GREAT NEWS!

Our last stud LB from California now plays Sundays on the frozen tundra. Great decision Mark, you won't regret it!

I'll honestly admit, I don't know much about this kid. I saw the name a while ago and figured "If we get him, great. If not, he was a long shot" .

I'm looking forward to reading up on our newest Buckeye.

In his videos he just hunts down an engulfs the ballcarriers. I just CANNOT wait to see him on Saturdays!!!

Mark confirms his commitment to tOSU and says it actually happened on December 23rd but he kept it quiet until his visit. In nine games as a senior, Mark had 120 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, two sacks and two forced fumbles.

Thanks Grad. I was surprised that Tress let him verbal without speaking to his family first...now it makes sense.

If anyone gets a chance, take a look at his film. This kid is nasty.

In your opinion, is this kid plug and play ready? What I mean is, will he contrubute in '06?

He has the tools to contribute early, its anyone's guess how much, I would think he would get a look on special teams. He is just plain nasty.

Good to hear. The words "Nasty" and "Linebacker" should always accompany each other.

Welcome aboard, MJ.

Great news to start of a Monday morning!

Welcome aboard Mark!
