Big Ten coaches are likely worried about their recruiting now that Urban Meyer will have a full year to recruit at Ohio State. This usually is never a good sign for opposing coaches, as Meyer is an outstanding recruiting head coach and has a staff at Ohio State that is known for attracting elite talent.

For this read, I just felt we'd give you the Buckeye fans a premature small list of prospects that Ohio State is targeting. These players are among tops in the country and OSU is looking at them.

Already Committed: Jalin Marshall, ATH & Cameron Burrows, DB

Marshall is one of the elite players on my early top 100 board right now, as he's a 6'1", 190 pound athlete that plays QB right now. Meyer could let him dazzle in his spread option offense as a QB, but Marshall could be a great RB too.

Burrows is a big 6'2", 195 pound DB that makes up for losing out on Demetrious Cox. Burrows can play CB or safety and his size and athleticism should get him on the field sooner than later. 

5. Ben Gedeon, LB

Gedeon is one of the top LBs in the midwest this year. He's an athletic 6'2", 215 pound second level defender that has solid range, a high motor and is productive.

He woud fit well at OSU, and would be a future starter for Luke Fickell. 

Gedeon has already been offered by the Buckeyes.

4. Ty Isaac, RB

OSU signed two backs last year in Warren Ball and Brionte Dunn; that I like. However, getting another talent like Ty Isaac would replenish the stables in Columbus.

Isaac is a 6'2", 220 pound RB with excellent play speed agility and great instincts. With his tall and long frame, he'd remind some of Eddie George.

OSU has offered. 

3. Lovell Peterson, OL

At 6'4", 270 pounds, Peterson is the top OL prospect in Ohio right now and Meyer likes to lock up the fences around his state.

Peterson suffered through illess and injuries last season, but he's known to many college programs.

Alabama and Ohio State are his top two, as his brother is 'Bama's Trey DePriest. Michigan and Michigan State are the next two. 

2. Adam Breneman, TE

Breneman is a 6'5", 220 pound TE out of Pennsylvania. For a comparison, think Kent Taylor of the 2012 class. Breneman is a natural pass catcher that can serve as a move guy, in-line TE, Flex TE, WR and H-back and even a fullback.

He looks to be the jewel of the TE class for the 2013 crop and Ohio State has already offered. 

1. Robert Foster, WR

Meyer will double dip into Pennsylvania this year, as Foster is a prime time WR prospect. 6'2", 190 pounds, Foster is as explosive as they come and still is learning.

He's got a high ceiling, but that doesn't mean he's raw. Foster has great speed, can stem up DBs in a flash, separates easily and quickly out of his breaks and has solid hands.

He's got a Buckeye offer already.
