New Smyrna Beach receiver James Clark signs with Ohio State

NEW SMYRNA BEACH ? Wide receiver James Clark, one of Florida?s most coveted uncommitted prospects going into National Signing Day, made Urban Myer and a legion of Ohio State football fans very happy on Wednesday morning.

Clark, who brought an enticing blend of speed, athleticism and academic success to the recruiting season, saved his decision as a secret ? at least publicly -- for a National Signing Day signing ceremony at his high school?s auditorium.

In an announcement made for live television the 5-11, 170-pound slot receiver donned a Buckeyes cap. He chose Ohio state over Florida and Clemson.

?Ohio state provided the best opportunity to be successful on the field and for life after football,? Clark said. ?It?s a place I felt happy at.

?It was really hard. Florida is a great school. Ohio State, I felt it was the right place for me. Coach Meyer told me, ?Don?t come to Ohio State unless I was ready to make grown man moves. That?s what I had to do.?

Clark said he became very close to Meyer during the recruitment process.

?Coach Meyer and I are very close. He?s like a second dad for me.?
