10 TV: Ohio State signed 25 players to its 2009 class, coach Jim Tressel said Wednesday. In addition to Ohio State, LSU, Alabama and Southern California are among the highest ranked classes of the year.
The class is headlined by Cornerback/receiver Corey Brown, considered a five-star recruit by Rivals. His Monroeville, Pa., teammate, linebacker Dorian Bell, another five-star recruit, also committed to the class. "This class consists of young men who have been successful on the field and in school," Tressel said. "Nearly all of them were on a playoff team this fall, and overall, they bring close to a 3.0 GPA to Ohio State, a reflection of the work ethic they are developing to achieve those types of successes."
The class includes 14 players from Ohio, three from Pennsylvania and Florida, two from Michigan and one from Maryland, Kentucky and Texas. There are 13 offensive (4 offensive linemen, 4 running backs, 3 wide receivers, 1 tight end, 1 quarterback) and 12 defensive (4 defensive backs, 4 linebackers, 4 defensive tackles, 2 defensive end) players.
"This is a large class in terms of numbers, and a well-balanced class between Ohio and out-of-state players," said recruiting coordinator John Peterson. "At Ohio State, we know you win with people, and these are young people who know what it takes to succeed."
