Jordan Fuller to Ohio State: Buckeyes Land 4-Star ATH Prospect

College football teams win national titles with stars and athletes, so Jordan Fuller's commitment to Ohio State once again has the Buckeyes headed in the right direction.

Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports passed along word that Fuller was heading to Columbus on Monday evening. 

Fuller commented on his decision, per Wiltfong: 

"

I felt the most comfortable there. For a long time they’ve really been my favorite and that’s the place for me.

The tradition, top-notch football, the competition, the way they develop their players, the way they take care of their players, the honesty, the opportunity for early playing time and networking, their alumni base is huge.

I’m just excited to be part of a program that’s been storied and so successful in history. I’m excited to be part of something that’s a lot bigger than me.

"

Fuller is everything a coach looks for in a high school recruit. He's a 4-star prospect and the sixth-ranked athlete in the 2016 recruiting class, per 247Sports. The 17-year-old dual-threat quarterback is listed at 6'1 ½" and 196 pounds.

Fuller's position wasn't always clear during the recruiting process. He played Wildcat quarterback and wide receiver at Old Tappan High School (New Jersey), racking up 1,665 total yards and 15 touchdowns en route to earning NJ.com's State Player of the Year award in 2015. 

Along with those positions, Scout.com lists Fuller as the nation's 10th-ranked cornerback prospect. Wiltfong said Fuller will play cornerback for the Buckeyes. 

ESPN.com noted his defensive chops have dramatically increased: 

"

This kid has really improved his stock in our eyes. He's become faster and more fluid. Fuller makes most of his big plays on offense, but shows really upside on the defensive side to blossom. Gives coaches lots of options. He can run, he's physical and he's versatile. Will be very attractive for power five programs.

"

Even though Fuller didn't have a defined position on the recruiting trail, he's one of the most exciting talents in the nation and has the potential to become a superstar at his new home. Varsity Highlights HD passed along some of his highlights and his decision Monday:

Fuller is just another example of death, taxes and a successful recruiting year for Urban Meyer. The Ohio State head coach added the dynamic Fuller to an incoming class that ranks second overall (as of Monday), trailing only LSU, according to 247Sports.

It makes sense that Fuller will be going to Ohio State as a cornerback, as Ari Wasserman of Cleveland.com noted the Buckeyes need more help in the secondary after Fiesta Bowl Defensive MVP Eli Apple declared for the NFL draft.

Meyer is a master of developing talent and will find the best way to use his new weapon as soon as possible. Fuller is going to be working with one of the best in the nation and will make an impact for the Buckeyes over the next few years.
