Many have speculated his interest, but he’s rarely confirmed or denied any reports.

DE Trent Harris closing in on decision
WINTER PARK, Fla. — Defensive end Trent Harris (Winter Park, Fla./Winter Park) originally was set to announce his college destination before his spring game on Thursday night, but an offer from Ohio State caused the talented pass-rusher to delay his decision.

Ohio State picks up commitment No. 9
Commitment No. 9 came in a big way for Ohio State on Thursday. It came from an outside linebacker the Buckeyes have been coveting for some time now.

For Booker, who had been on campus multiple times, it came down to a choice between the Buckeyes and Notre Dame.
