College Football's Most Important Offers of the Week

Dating back to his days at Florida, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has continued to mine the Sunshine State for talent with great frequency and success. 

Last week, Meyer and his staff hosted 3-star corner and current Georgia commit Malek Young on his official visit.

According to Ryan Bartow of 247Sports, Young earned an offer from the Buckeyes before leaving Columbus.

While he maintains that he is still committed to the Bulldogs, the 5’10”, 175-pounder admitted to Bartow that Meyer’s pitch was impressive: 

"

He was telling me about their situation and how it is to be on a winning team. He said it's more than football and I can experience things about life there. He kept it real and told me Ohio State is the place to be if I want to win. He told me I have an offer and he wanted me to know that I have an offer from them. He wants me to be part of their team.

"

As Bartow noted, the Buckeyes are recruiting him to play corner, and they employ a scheme he feels he would thrive in. 

Auburn is another school pushing for Young. He’s scheduled to visit the Tigers for their showdown against in-state rival Alabama on Nov. 28.

However, the Buckeyes have a chance to make this recruitment interesting if they continue to push hard for Young in the coming months.

Oregon Offers 4-Star WR

One of the top uncommitted wide receivers in the 2016 cycle is 4-star California product Dylan Crawford. 

Last week, the 6’1”, 175-pounder received a big offer from Oregon.

Crawford, who rates as the No. 13 pass-catcher and the No. 91 player overall in the 2016 cycle, has schools such as Arizona State, Miami, Michigan and Stanford currently battling it out for his signature on signing day. 

However, with the Ducks entering the picture, they have a chance to become a bigger factor down the stretch of his recruitment.

Florida Offers LSU WR Commit

When LSU has its sights set on an in-state target, it’s usually tough for another school to pull that prospect out of the Pelican State.

However, that’s the task in front of Florida head coach Jim McElwain and his staff after the Gators offered 3-star receiver and current LSU pledge Da’Monte Coxie. 

The 6’3”, 175-pounder has been committed to the Tigers since July, but the Gators have a need at receiver and will make a run at flipping him.

If the Gators can secure a visit from Coxie, things could begin to get interesting with his recruitment.

Oklahoma After 2017 Florida WR

With 25 offers to his credit, one of the most coveted recruits in the 2017 cycle is 4-star Florida native Jerry Jeudy.

The latest powerhouse to jump in the race for the 6’1”, 174-pounder is Oklahoma—who offered him last week. 

Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida and Florida State are among the early schools pushing for Jeudy—who rates as the No. 7 wideout and the No. 34 player overall in the 2017 class. 

Sooners head coach Bob Stoops and his staff are hoping to become a bigger factor with one of the nation’s most explosive playmakers in the 2017 class.
