Meyer said the coaches watched tape of Haskins, Keandre Jones and Jordan Fuller last night to leave the building on a good feeling

Meyer called in a strenuous moment when Tristen Wallace told Ohio State that he didn't want to play quarterback. He panicked because a lot of quarterbacks were committed. "It wasn't an attractive pool." That's when Meyer called Dwayne Haskins.

Urban is just gushing about Dwayne and who can blame him? He said his mechanics and release are about the best he has ever seen at this stage...I agree 100%. Give him a year or two behind Barrett to learn the mental side of the college game and he is going to be special. The physical traits are there and he is so advanced at this stage that I think he can be an instant impact if (lord forbid) something would happen to Barrett at any point in the next couple years. Not to say I am not high on Burrow in the future but I get excited all over again when I think about Dwayne playing here.

In a Time of Need, Urban Meyer Found One of the Best Passers He's Ever Seen

The Buckeyes thought they had their 2016 quarterback locked and ready.

Tristan Wallace was the 10th-ranked athlete in the country according to the 247Sports Composite after throwing for 2,167 yards and 12 touchdowns and rushing for 1,478 more yards and 16 additional scores as a senior in high school.

The DeSoto, Texas native committed to Ohio State in April of 2015 and then made multiple visits to Columbus.

Then in mid-December, Wallace took an official visit to UCLA and Oregon and committed to the Ducks after electing to change from dual-threat quarterback to wide receiver.

“That was a very strenuous moment when the previous commitment decided not to play the position,” Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said of Wallace’s decision. “And I was actually in a hotel room in New Jersey when I got the phone call. I mean, my mouth went dry, I said, ‘What?’ Because every other quarterback was committed, basically.”

Meyer and his staffed looked around at some of the non-committed quarterback prospects but were not impressed. Because of that, Meyer contacted Maryland commit Dwayne Haskins.

“I made the call to Dwayne and we had a great relationship prior to [his commitment],” Meyer said. “He's been here several times. I know he's a big Ohio State fan growing up. And the relationship instantly was right exactly where it was when we went our separate ways.”

Haskins visited the Columbus in early December and a month later the four-star quarterback was an OSU commit. On Feb. 3, Haskins signed his National Letter of Intent and he was a Buckeye.

“He's an impact recruit,” Meyer said.
