Lancaster OL Kyle Trout out to prove he's much more than a class-filler, not simply an in-state quota for Ohio State: Buckeyes recruiting

LANCASTER, Ohio – The list of oral commitments that comprise Ohio State’s 2014 recruiting class is impressively diverse.

Then there’s Kyle Trout of Lancaster, Ohio, a name listed among the others you probably know little about – maybe because he’s a boring offensive lineman.

“When I first started getting recruited, a lot of people thought I was just another Ohio kid, that [Urban] Meyer thought I was like (part of) a quota,” Trout said during an in-person interview with Cleveland.com on Thursday. “But I'm a player.”

Then Trout says things like that – thought-provoking, honest and personable things. It makes you want to dig deeper, to find out more.

You quickly realize that Trout isn’t some boring offensive lineman, and he certainly isn’t some throw-in prospect Meyer added to Ohio State’s class to infuse homegrown talent into the group.

“Coach Meyer wants the best kids, and if they aren’t in Ohio then he isn’t going to only get Ohio kids to make Ohio parents happy,” Trout said. “He just wants to win. He loses his job if he doesn’t win. He wants the best.”
