COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Urban Meyer says being the coach of the national champion opens the door to recruiting in every living room in the United States.
Meyer got less of a bounce from Ohio State’s national title than he thought he might, but still locked up a banner crop of 27 new Buckeyes on Wednesday.
”I tell people it’s like a 30-day infomercial,” Meyer said on the first day for the signing of national letters of intent to play Division I football. ”It just gets the scarlet and gray in front of everybody in a positive light. Sometimes things happen and it’s not in a positive light. You go pay for positive advertising for 30 days and see what that looks like.”
Meyer’s haul included 13 players on each side of the ball and a long snapper. He signed 12 recruits from Ohio, three from Florida and two from Michigan and Virginia. The class includes five defensive backs, three linebackers and two high-profile quarterbacks, Ohio Associated Press Mr. Football Joe Burrow and highly touted Floridian Torrance Gibson.
