Nexus Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Interesting. Looks like we'll be tapping into the Ohio pipeline more than usual? We'll see how this develops. Link to comment
EZ-E Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 For a kid that is probably 16 maybe just turned 17 he is huge. Link to comment

Street Novelist Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Springfield (Ohio) junior defensive tackle Kevin Williams is one of the top prospects in the 2011 Ohio class. Williams, 6-foot-3, 275-pounds, just completed an outstanding season, one which led to his first offer. "Nebraska was the first school to offer and I can't tell you how great that felt," he admitted. "Nebraska is a great school and a great football program, and it's an honor to be offered the chance to play there. I watched several of their games and I love their aggressive defense. I plan on going out to Nebraska for their spring game, and while I plan on going through the recruiting process, my thoughts on Nebraska are strong." The fact that the Cornhuskers featured what many people feel was the best college football player in the country in 2009, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, certainly won't hurt Nebraska's chances of landing a commitment from Williams. "Ndamukong Suh is an amazing player and I like to pattern my game after him," Williams said of the Nebraska star. "I look up to him so much, and he's a player I'm trying to be like on the football field. Maybe I'll be his successor some day at Nebraska, you never know." Link to comment

HuskerNLimbo Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Nice. Thats great that he wants to model his game after Suh...why not do it at Neb. Does anyone else think we can tap the Ohio recruiting market? There are a lot of players here that want to play at OSU, but I think if we keep our momentum, we could definately get players.

It helps that Bo is a former OSU alumnus. It also helps that Coach Bo, Carl and Tim Beck are all from Youngstown too. So I expect them to tap into the Ohio pipeline more in the future.

Ohio Pete Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Scouting Ohio has film. Apparently the competition isn't the best. Getting him into camp would be great, but he will also likely camp at tOSU. Have to figure tOSU and Notre Dame are the main competition (if they offer). (Not sure what Cinci will be like with Kelly gone.) Link to comment
EZ-E Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Good film. Thank you Ohio Pete. At 6ft3 270 you have to like his size. He is athletic enough at that size that they line him up at DE sometimes too. Like the height. That was one thing that they (rivals evaluating staff) said kept Jay Guy from being a 4 star kid was he is only 6ft1. I really hope we can get him down here for the spring game and a summer camp.

Danimal Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 While historically we don't do much in the Big10 states the Pelinis do have connections in Ohio and our D has become big news. I can see defensive recruits like this kid taking serious interest. Link to comment
