Hear from some of the high school talent that recently camped with the Buckeyes.
It’s that time of the year again where college coaches from across the country play host to hundreds of prospects. Yup! You got that right, it’s summer camp season.
Just like every other college football program, Urban Meyer and the Ohio State staff have been hard at work helping high school prospects and potential Buckeyes get better at their craft.
Wanting to get you a closer look to the summer camp experience, Land-Grant Holy Land caught up with the following recruits and grabbed their opinion on what it was like to get coached up by one of the top overall staffs in college football.
4-star CB Adonis Otey
Class: 2019
Town: Murfreesboro,TN/Blackman
Size: 5’11/180
Offers: Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, etc
Thoughts: “Camp was great. I was just working out seeing the tempo of how the coaches coach and what they expect from the players. I had a meeting with my position coach and coach Meyer, and they said I was high on the board so it’s all on me.”
3-star TE Brenton Strange
Class: 2019
Town: Parkersburg,WV/Parkersburg
Size: 6’5/210
Offers: Ohio State, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Maryland, Purdue, etc
Thoughts: “Ohio State’s camp was really good. I learned of bunch of stuff and came away with an offer. A win/win.”
3-star QB Justin Fomby
Class: 2019
Town: Lawrenceville,GA/Central Gwinnett
Size: 6’4/185
Offers: Missouri, Georgia State, South Alabama
Thoughts: “It was good. I learned or reworked rather putting velicity on the ball while dropping it over a linebacker, the 1-inch throw. That throw is effective and working it at the camp really helped out my game. I talked to Coach Day, and he said he’ll take a look at the film they took from the camp and evaluate it and get back with me. He said I looked good from what he saw and he should be keeping in touch with me later on.”
3-star TE Justin Stephens
Class: 2019
Town: Dayton,OH/Trotwood-Madison
Size: 6’7/235
Offers: Boston College, Cincinnati, Iowa, Kentucky, LSU, etc
Thoughts: “It was great. I actually went again (6/12/18). I learned a lot of receiver tips and blocking tips. I talked to coach Wilson, coach Meyer and coach Hinton, and they said that I could be a great player. (A scholarship) would mean a lot. Growing up in Ohio I’ve always watched them. It would be a little like tradition.”
4-star RB Michael Drennen II
Class: 2020
Town: Dublin,OH/Coffman
Size: 5’11/190
Offers: Boston College, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Indiana, Louisville, etc
Thoughts: “Camp was great. There was great competition there. While I was there coach Alford and I did a few reaction drills and he helped me with bag work. Great coaches.”
3-star OT Trey Leroux
Class: 2020
Town: Monroeville,OH/Monroeville
Size: 6’8/300
Offers: Toledo
Thoughts: “The camp was amazing. I learned many new ways and different form for my pass set along with a few pointers working with my punch and explosion for run blocking. I talked to coach Stud (Greg Studrawa) for quite a while. He said that he was impressed with my movement while being the size that I am as well as stating that he would like to further get to know me and get my recruitment in gear by going to the Friday Night Lights camp. I also got to talk to coach Meyer for a bit.”
OG Rocco Spindler
Class: 2021
Town: Clarkston,MI/Clarkston
Size: 6’4/250
Offers: Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Toledo
Thoughts: “The Ohio State camp was great. It really showed how to compete with the other top prospects around the country. Even though I’m young I’m very advanced than the other guys and I feel like the Ohio State coaching staff saw that and my potential and future in this sport. What I learned was even though the coaches ask you to go 10-yards they actually wanted you to go +2 more yards making it actually 12 yards. Even though they only asked 10 yards. And if you add up all the +2 yards to each thing that you do that’s separates you from a decent player to a great champion type of player. I had a great time with each of the coaches there, and I hope to see them soon.”
