LB Storm Klein (Official Thread)

Tyler Moeller was a bigger hitter, I think.

And not a linebacker, but Kurt Coleman's video had some bigger hits, too.

But Storm Klein has great instincts, and sheds blocks very well. I liked seeing the clips where he would dive into a pile to seemingly get lost in the mix but would put the runner on his back behind the pile.

Great video.

Is tOSU planning on him at LB for sure?

I would bet on it. Klien is a very solid linebacker who goes hard every play. His toughness and decent speed allows him to be a solid playmaker n offense at the HS level. Not that he couldn't be solid on offense at Ohio State, but he's too good of a linebacker to not play him there. He almost reminds me of a younger version of A.J. Hawk the way he flies across the field. In fact, if he continues to progress, it;s going to be very hard to keep him off the field in 2009, especially with Lil Animal gone.

I sometimes wonder when a kid has a highlite film that is only a couple of minutes long, what's up? Storm's is nearly nine minutes of him showing speed, agility, vision and bad attitude when making contact. Great looking prospect.

He has very good vision as an RB and I think that will help him see lanes to the ball carrier. He had a bunch of pancake blocks while blocking for his QB. He brings it all when at LB and he definitely plays with an attitude.

Very, very happy to have him already in the fold.

4/10

Talks about keeping in touch with the other recruits, coming back from his injury that he suffered in the state title game and about attending the Spring Game (where he plans on doing a bit of recruiting :biggrin:)

Sounds VERY excited to become a Buckeye.

OSU RECRUIT
Klein named All-American Bowl nominee
LV player hopes to be one of 90 who play
By SETH ROY
Advocate Reporter

HANOVER -- Licking Valley running back/linebacker Storm Klein got a surprise visit from two U.S. Army staff sergeants Thursday during lunch.

Klein was nominated to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 3, 2009, at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Staff Sgt. Clayton Prater announced the nomination in the cafeteria.

Klein, who has committed to Ohio State, is one of 400 nationally to be nominated to play in the game. That list will be whittled down to the 90 who actually will play.

"I always thought it would be cool to play in San Antonio," Klein said of the game, which began in 2001.
Klein was quick to credit his teammates, coaches and community with his success and nomination.

"This award comes with a lot of thanks to others," he said.

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I read in yesterday's "This Week" (a section focusing on local areas included in Sunday's Dispatch) an article about the Muskingum/Licking county all-star game that...

LV senior Storm Klein was planning to attend the game last Friday. He likely won't get a chance to participate next summer. An Ohio State recruit, he remains on track to graduate early and enroll before the Buckeyes begin spring practice next April.

Klein made a verbal commitment last fall. Since then, the '09 recruiting class has grown considerably (from nine to 24 players) and is already being called a top five class nation wide months before signing day. Several other blue-chip LB's have come on board, too, not that Klein is regretting his early decision. "No way," he said last week. "I'm excited we're getting all those guys."

If Klein does enroll early at tOSU his scholarship actually will count toward the '08 class, possibly feeing up a spot for another '09 commitment.

I tried to find the article online, but was unsuccessful.
