Reid Compton-USA TODAY SportsUrban Meyer doesn’t have much to worry about on the recruiting trail. He’s one of the best of the best, and his name carries a ton of weight with recruits.

The Cleveland Glenville offensive tackle has continued to add offers, and the 6-foot-4, 325-pound, lineman received a big one Wednesday.
“This is a big offer for me and I was surprised to get it, to be honest,” Jones stated. “My principal came and got me out of class this morning and told me Alabama was on the phone. I spoke to one of their assistant coaches for a while and he said they were offering me a scholarship, along with (teammates) Marshon Lattimore and Erick Smith.”

They said I could help them a lot if I would go down there to play. I told them I’m still committed to Ohio State, but they said they didn’t really care about that at all.
