TE Vannett 16th member of 2011 class
By TIM MAY
Tight end Nick Vannett of Westerville Central High School this afternoon became the 16th commitment to Ohio State?s 2011 football recruiting class.
?I feel great. I?m excited to say I?m going to be a Buckeye,? Vannett said.
At 6 feet 6, 240 pounds, he?s the second tight end in the class, joining Jeff Heuerman of Naples, Fla. But Vannett, who picked OSU over Tennessee and Virginia Tech, said he saw it as becoming part of Ohio State as a whole.
?I was looking for a school where I knew I was going to be comfortable with the people and with the academic side of things,? Vannett said. ?I want that degree to take me somewhere in life.
?Ohio State has great people, real down to earth people, and they have something no other school has in the tradition. I just want to be a part of that.?
