Last weekend’s Ohio State camp

Last Sunday I attended the Ohio State one day senior advanced camp. I was unable to stay for the duration because of a personal matter but I was able to see a good portion of the camp. Lots of studs were in attendance which included the likes of Tyquan Lewis, Vonn Bell, Darron Lee, Caleb Day, Christian Morris, Lovell Peterson, Kyle Meadows, and others. Tyquan Lewis – Lewis definitely looked the part. A very physically imposing player that also had the speed to go along with his size. Lewis and Pantoni seemed to have a great relationship. Lewis was definitely a man amongst boys among his position group. He definitely impressed me. The Buckeyes would be getting a great player if he joined the class of 2013. Vonn Bell – Vonn Bell to me was the best prospect out there at the camp. He is very quick and had great feet in the football drills. Urban Meyer showed up to the camp for a short bit and exchanged a few words with Bell. Urban at one point asked Coach …

The Buckeyes are looking at many elite defensive backs in the 2014 class. One of these players is Bishop Dunne (TX) defensive back Nick Watkins, who was recently offered by the Buckeyes, and many other top programs.

Intro to 2014 Cass Tech (MI) LB Will White
