What a surprise, love this commit. A nice change of pace and open field RB. Can't wait to see what he will do in our offense.

Three months after receiving his first scholarship offer, John Burroughs junior running back Ezekiel Elliott has made a college commitment to Ohio State.
The 16-year-old football and track standout, the area?s top prospect in the Class of 2013, made the announcement on his Facebook page and Twitter feed on Sunday. He also posted a photo of himself wearing a No. 2 Buckeyes jersey.
A 6-foot, 200-pounder, Elliott had racked up 20 scholarship offers before making his decision, which is not binding until he signs a letter of intent in February of his senior year. He was offered by Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Georgia, Tennessee and Penn State, among many others.
He received the scholarship offer from the Buckeyes in early February after taking an unofficial visit to Columbus and meeting with coach Urban Meyer.
?He?s a great guy, very outgoing,? Elliott said then. ?He?s ready to win there at Ohio State. He?s ready to win a national championship.?

He has quite the offer list.
By virtue of him choosing before summer classes begin, I have hopes that he can enroll early at tOSU.
