Ohio State outlook: The top 5 OTs of 2014
As the 2014 recruiting class comes more and more into focus following what was yet another strong national signing day for Urban Meyer, BuckeyeNation will take a position-by-position look at the juniors. We’re going to start with the biggest position of need and move forward. That means today it’s the offensive line, where Ohio State has already picked up commitments from Marcelys Jones (Cleveland/Glenville) and Kyle Trout (Lancaster, Ohio/Lancaster).
Assessing the 2014 offensive linemen
Ohio State admittedly missed a bit on the offensive line in the recruiting class of 2013. In 2014, Urban Meyer is making sure it doesn’t happen again. With a razor-thin unit already, the Buckeyes have wasted no time, picking up ESPN Watch List offensive tackles Marcelys Jones (Cleveland/Glenville) and Kyle Trout (Lancaster, Ohio/Lancaster). Trout has been a big name all along, while Jones — also a big name — cemented his worth with a strong showing at the Best of the Midwest Combine last week.
2014 Ohio State commit adds Tide offer
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — University of Alabama head coach Nick Saban went back to the area where he first started coaching to offer a trio of 2014 prospects on Wednesday. The group from Cleveland (Ohio) Glenville High School included Ohio State commitment Marcelys Jones, ESPN Watch List athlete Marshon Lattimore and safety Erick Smith. “I was just real excited,” Jones said. “It made my day a lot better. It was just a great day.” Jones committed to the Buckeyes on Christmas, but the offer from the Crimson Tide certainly caught his attention.
Why Urban Meyer Should Worry Alabama Offered Ohio State Commit Marcelys Jones
Urban 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. That said, if there’s one coach in the country that is on Meyer’s level, it would be Nick Saban of the Alabama Crimson Tide—and he’s definitely a coach Saban needs to keep an eye on, especially if Alabama is coming after an Ohio State commitment. According to Bill Greene of Scout.com, 4-star offensive guard recruit and Ohio State commitment Marcelys Jones has picked up an offer from Saban and the Crimson Tide: 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 …

Welcome to Across The Field, a regular feature on BuckeyeNation where we point you to noteworthy Buckeyes coverage here and elsewhere. Think something should be included? Send it to espnkendrick@gmail.com. BuckeyeNation Week in Review So much for that recruiting dead period — the Buckeyes finally picked up their first 2014 pledge on Christmas morning with Cleveland Glenville OT Marcelys Jones. Jones, as the first pledge to the class, knows that means he’s now a recruiter as well.
Marcelys Jones ready to lead 2014 class
The first commit in any recruiting class is always big. Ohio State’s coaches want to build a strong relationship and hope that player will be the mouthpiece for an entire year or maybe more. In the class of 2013 it was Cam Burrows (Trotwood, Ohio/Trotwood-Madison). What followed was an Ohio State secondary with the potential to be incredible. The class of 2014 started on Tuesday with the commitment of Marcelys Jones (Cleveland/Glenville), who just might bring a megaphone with him to games in an effort to lure potential recruits to the Buckeyes.

2014 OT Jones commits to Ohio State
Urban Meyer’s 2013 Christmas got a whole lot nicer Tuesday morning when Marcelys Jones (Cleveland/Glenville) committed to Ohio State. In doing so, the 6-foot-4, 325-pound offensive tackle became the first commitment in the class of 2014 for the Buckeyes. While the junior isn’t sure whether or not he’ll stay on the offensive side of things with Ohio State, he is quite certain he picked the right school. “They have one of the best coaching staff there,” Jones said.
