Marshall is going to be special. I've watched him play 3 times and while OSU has probably told him he will get a shot at QB, I highly doubt he plays there at the next level and I think he knows that himself. He is going to be electric as a RB/WR. I think he had something like 272 yards and 3 TDs in the Moeller playoff game I went to.

It's great to see him recruiting Jaylon as quickly as he has. I think he and Cam will team up and get the nation's top recruits in here. I don't know about you guys, but I could use a season of recruiting off. So the quicker the 2013 class fills up the better, lol. I think by August, we could have Jaylon Smith, Eli Woodard, Caleb Day, Malik Zaire, and Robert Foster commit to OSU. Smith and Foster being the most unlikely to do so really quick because they may like enjoying the recruiting process. Woodard, Day, and Zaire seem like slam dunks right now. If Zaire does not yet have his offer, I am sure he will get it and commit shortly after.

We're going to have limited schollies in 2013 and kids are going to want to jump on quick. It seems that every kid with an offer is at least a 4*. Is there a chance we land the #1 class next year even with the limited scholarships. We already have two 5* players and I don't see why we couldn't get three or four more 5's.

Middie standout Marshall picks OSU
Junior coming in as quarterback, but will play where he?s needed.

MIDDLETOWN ? Jalin Marshall?s high-profile recruiting journey has reached a scarlet-and-gray conclusion.

The Middletown High School junior quarterback ended months of speculation Monday by giving a verbal commitment to the Ohio State University football program.

?It?s one of the biggest decisions of my life, and I feel like I made a great choice,? Marshall said. ?It?s close to home, and it?s my childhood dream school. When they gave me the opportunity, I kind of knew where I wanted to go.?

He broke the news to the Middletown Journal after basketball practice Monday afternoon, with the Middies set to host rival Hamilton tonight.

Marshall can?t sign with OSU until he?s a senior, but he saw no reason to hold off on his announcement.

?It?s just a relief,? Marshall said. ?Why not do it now? I already know where I want to go. I know where my future is, and it?s at Ohio State.?

The 6-foot, 190-pound Marshall made no official visits, but did take several trips to Ohio State. He also visited Notre Dame, Cincinnati and Tennessee, the three schools he listed as his other finalists.

Asked if he would?ve chosen OSU had Urban Meyer not been hired as coach in November, Marshall replied, ?Probably. I don?t know if it would?ve been this early.?

Middletown coach Troy Everhart said he?s happy for Marshall and noted that his parents, Angel and Richard, have been role models.

?He?s got great parents who are setting the right example,? Everhart said. ?There?s no silliness. We didn?t pull hats out of a bag. We didn?t hold a press conference. He?s one of the few lucky ones who has someone at home who?s paying attention and doing things right. If we had more parents like his, we?d all be better off.?

Ohio State football: Key recruit commits to class of ?13
By Tim May
The Columbus Dispatch Tuesday January 31, 2012

Ohio State lost out on one recruit for its 2012 football class yesterday, but it landed one for 2013 when quarterback/athlete Jalin Marshall of Middletown committed last night.

Expected to be the No. 1 prospect in the state when rankings emerge for the 2013 recruits, Marshall was being highly sought by Ohio State, Notre Dame and Michigan.

But he had been considered a lock for the Buckeyes.

?I just decided it was the right thing, the right time, because it?s what I wanted to do,? said Marshall, a junior.

The recruiting services consider Marshall an ?athlete,? meaning he has the ability to play several positions, including receiver, slot back or even running back. But the 6-foot, 190-pounder said he has one position in mind at the moment.

?Quarterback,? he said, though he also said the Ohio State coaches have spoken to him about playing other positions.

This kids' thread fell to the fifth page, seriously, we Buckeye fans should be ashamed :wink2: That just goes to show you where recruiting has come with this new staff.

Was flipping channels last night before the Buckeye vs Gopher game, and decided to take advantage of Time Warners on demand, and watched some of the Middletown vs Moeller playoff game, all I can say with regards to Jalin is :yow1: what a dynamic, explosive playmaker.
