As Larry Johnson and Urban Meyer and the recruiting staff at Ohio State begin to explore new options, the likelihood is they'll revisit past targets like
Brandon Tiassum, a 6-foot-5, 285-pound tackle from Park Tudor High School in Indianapolis. Committed to Notre Dame since May, Tiassum does not yet possess an Ohio State offer but that's not stopped the Buckeyes from attempting to get him on campus for an official visit.
"(Larry Johnson) called me Monday," Tiassum told
Eleven Warriors. "They want me to take an official visit. I'm not really sure if I'm interested, but I may visit."
The reason for a potential visit? Understanding the Buckeyes' need at defensive tackle.
"I know they need defensive tackle help," he added. "I just don't know yet if I'd make the visit. It's a big decision and one I'll need to make."
Tiassum had a monster season season at Park Tudor, collecting 94 tackles, 13.5 sacks and seven forced fumbles while splitting his time between defensive end and defensive tackle.
