Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Gosnell, the No. 265 overall player and No. 11 tight end in the country, is down to a final three of Ohio State, Florida and North Carolina.
I believe the timing of this announcement and decision is interesting and think it spells good things for the Buckeyes. Just two weeks ago, we told you about how important it was for Gosnell to see whether or not Ohio State would use its tight ends, specifically Jeremy Ruckert, in the passing game and how much it would use them as pass catchers.
After all, that’s Gosnell’s strength. While Buckeye commit Bennett Christian is more of an in-line blocking tight end – though he’s improving as a pass catcher in his penultimate high school season – Gosnell is the guy Kevin Wilson and Co. are wanting to bring in as one who can be used in the slot or on the outside to be a threat in the passing game.
Do these guys know anything?

FOUR-STAR TIGHT END BENJI GOSNELL COMMITS TO OHIO STATE
Gosnell said “OSU was my frontrunner all week,” but we reported two weeks ago that Gosnell wanted to see how the Buckeyes used their tight ends in the passing game, specifically if they would utilize Jeremy Ruckert as a pass catcher. Against the Nittany Lions, he loved what he saw as the tight ends were targeted seven times, totaling six catches for 54 yards and the two touchdowns caught by Ruckert.
“All the pieces of wood were there, but that was the final nail in the wood,” Gosnell said. “It also had a lot to do with Bennett. Bennett’s a great dude, and I’d love to be his teammate.
“But I would say watching Jeremy and Luke (Farrell) and watching how they played Saturday (sealed the deal), and they’re in so much. If Ruckert’s not in, Luke’s in, and if Luke’s not in, Ruckert’s in. Or they’re both in. There’s always a tight end in there, and most of the time there’s two. There’s two more than there’s not. It’s awesome.

Welcome to the fam Benji! Watched some of his film, and he's not afraid to go across the middle and move the chains but take a hit. He also showed a lot of athleticism by also playing RB. Don't need him to outrun defenders, but have solid hands, catch in space and get first downs. He checks all the boxes. And im sure Wilson can help him with his blocking over time
