Ohio State Football Recruiting Offers of the Week

Urban Meyer and Ohio State have been on an absolute recruiting tear over the last two months. 

Since the start of spring practice in early March, the Buckeyes have gained commitments from 10 prospects for their 2016 and 2017 classes. Two of those verbal pledges came last week when 4-star offensive tackle Michael Jordan and Drue Chrisman—the nation's No. 1 punter—announced their commitment to Ohio State.

On top of that, the Buckeyes' coaching staff spent a lot of time on the road targeting new players. In fact, Ohio State offered seven new prospects last week, equaling the total number of offers it had sent out in the previous four weeks combined. 

Here's a look at the Buckeyes' new targets. 

Kyle Davis, 4-Star Wide Receiver (2016)

After losing Justin Layne to Michigan State two weeks ago, Ohio State has really picked up its pursuit of top-flight wide receivers. The Buckeyes recently got in the mix for 4-star Javon McKinley, and last week, they re-engaged 5-star Nate Craig-Myers, who decommitted from Auburn on Wednesday. 

They also offered current South Carolina commit Kyle Davis.

The standout from Lawrenceville, Georgia, is a 4-star prospect and the No. 58 overall recruit in the country. And even though he has already committed to the Gamecocks, schools haven't let up in his recruitment, as Alabama, LSU, Notre Dame and Texas A&M have all offered in the last two months in addition to the Buckeyes.

Rated the No. 5 wide receiver in the country, Davis doesn't have elite speed, running a reported 4.64 40-yard dash. But at 6'3" and 212 pounds, he brings a physicality to the receiver position that sets him apart. He isn't afraid to lower his shoulder and go through a defender, and he's athletic enough—possessing a 48-inch vertical jump—to catch the ball in traffic. 

It'll be very hard for Ohio State to pull Davis from the SEC footprint, though, as it appears his commitment to Steve Spurrier is solid. 

Jeffrey Okudah, 5-Star Safety (2017)

Ohio State dedicated the rest of its attention to its 2017 class, and the star of the group who was offered last week was Jeffrey Okudah.

Rated a 5-star prospect out of Grand Prairie, Texas, Okudah is one of the most sought-after recruits for 2017, already boasting 28 offers from Division I programs. That group is highlighted by Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas and USC, but the home-state Baylor Bears are the current leader for his services.

Can the Buckeyes change that? 

Meyer and his staff have had success recruiting in the Lone Star State in recent years, pulling players such as Demetrius Knox, Dontre Wilson and J.T. Barrett to Columbus. But those were players who were recruited by Tom Herman, who has strong ties to Texas.

But that's why Meyer replaced Herman with Tim Beck, who held the same position at Nebraska and recruited Texas frequently for Bo Pelini.

Beck's ability to recruit the talent-rich state became immediately apparent when Tristen Wallace, a 4-star quarterback from DeSoto, Texas, announced his verbal pledge to the Buckeyes' '16 class.

Ohio State is hoping Beck can work his magic again. 

Micah Clark, 4-Star Offensive Tackle (2017)

Micah Clark headlined a trio of New Jersey prospects the Buckeyes offered last week. 

A 6'5", 265-pound offensive tackle, Clark looks more like a collegiate sophomore than he does a teenager preparing for his junior year of high school. His incredible build—paired with a surprising athleticism—has helped him land offers from Alabama, Clemson, Miami, Michigan and Michigan State. 

But checking in as the No. 68 recruit nationally and the No. 10 offensive tackle overall, more schools will certainly be throwing their hat in the ring. 

The Buckeyes can pitch a unique vision to Clark, though. Meyer has already secured a commitment from the nation's top offensive tackle commit for 2017 in 5-star Josh Myers, and if he can convince Clark to join the ranks, that could be the foundation for one of college football's best offensive lines.
