Ohio State Football Recruiting: Predicting All the Recruits Who Will Sign on NSD

David RegimbalJan 31, 2016

Urban Meyer has Ohio State primed to sign one of the nation's top recruiting classes, and with 22 pledges already in the fold, the Buckeyes coaching staff is working hard to close out strong.

Seven members from Ohio State's 2016 recruiting class—all of whom are rated 4-star prospectshave already enrolled and will take part in spring practice. Factoring in the 15 other committed players, Ohio State likely has three scholarships left before reaching full capacity.

Which three recruits will the Buckeyes add before closing the books on the 2016 recruiting cycle?

The Final 3

Ohio State still has a need in the secondary and at defensive tackle, and it'll fill those holes before signing day on Wednesday. 

In the defensive backfield, Ohio State will close out with Jordan Fuller—a 4-star athlete and the No. 130 prospect overall. Fuller has been a longtime Buckeyes lean, and he'll pull the trigger and announce his commitment on Monday.

Columbus athlete Malik Harrison will follow suit. 

The Buckeyes only offered the two-way prospect a couple of weeks ago, but that's all the time they needed to surge in front of Michigan State in his recruitment. He can either play wide receiver or linebacker at the collegiate level, but it's unclear which side of the ball he'll end up on in Columbus. What is clear, though, is that he'll be suiting up with the Buckeyes for years to come.

The final commitment of the class will come from Jamar King, a coveted JUCO 3-star defensive lineman from Ukiah, California. 

Alabama and Ohio State have an interest in the 6'5", 285-pound standout, and while both schools are running low on space, it appears that Meyer is the one making King a priority, according to Jeremy Birmingham of Eleven Warriors.

That may be because Ohio State has a huge need for a defensive tackle. And while King is currently listed as a strong-side defensive end, he has the size to slide inside in the Buckeyes' 4-3 scheme—similarly to departed senior Adolphus Washington.

King, at 26 years old, will offer the Buckeyes an immediate, experienced presence in the middle of their defense. The Buckeyes will need that boost, too, after the loss of tackles Washington and Tommy Schutt.
