Signee draws flattering comparison
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The breakdown of track times offered a hint. The glowing reviews of Dontre Wilson’s ability to use that speed in more than just a straight line brought the conversation a little closer. Even when Ohio State coaches brought up the dual-purpose statistics the dynamic playmaker piled up as a receiver and a rusher, they weren’t all the way there yet. But finally Urban Meyer slipped in the name that truly confirmed the role he sees the prized recruit playing in his spread offense, casually dropping in a reference to the guy who made it famous and making it obvious why Wilson was worth so much effort after initially committing to Oregon.

Scouts: Wilson could fill the Harvin role
The Buckeyes gained an explosive offensive piece Monday night with the addition of Under Armour All-American athlete Dontre Wilson (DeSoto, Texas/DeSoto). We can’t imagine the pitch from Ohio State to Wilson didn’t include a very descriptive idea of his role within the offense as compared to Percy Harvin at Florida, where Harvin was employed as a utility weapon both in the backfield and on the perimeter. This is what makes Wilson so valuable to a spread offensive set and why Oregon had coveted him all along.
