“We've got tons of Buckeyes on our team. And one thing about Ohio State is whenever we go through the draft, they’ve got plenty of players that are in the first couple rounds that we want, but they're always gonna get a longer look from us,” Taylor said during his presentation at the clinic. “Yeah, because they’re in the state of Ohio and we want guys that are here and it means something to them, but they just deserve that because all the guys that played for us from Ohio State play at (a high) level. And so every player that comes through here, we take a long look at to make sure we get the right evaluation on them and see if they should be a part of our program.”
“There’s not another team in all of college football that I can put three players from our team making championship-level plays at that standard on here other than Ohio State,” Taylor said while showing clips of the game-changing plays Apple, Hubbard and Bell made against the Chiefs. “There's no other team I can do that on. So it just speaks to this place.”
Just sayin': You always hope recruits take notice when a NFL coach says positive things about The Ohio State football program.
