With a name like Stoneburner, one of Ohio State's newest wide receivers is going to make puns much too easy for Brent Musburger and Paul Keels.
Dublin Coffman senior Jake Stoneburner verbally committed to
OSU, equipped with a 6-foot-6-inch frame and 4.46 speed in the 40. Considering this striking combination of size and speed, opposing Big Ten cornerbacks might have their hands full in the coming years.
"He's going to be able to create a lot of mismatches because he's a big guy that can run the field," said Kevin Noon, recruiting analyst for rivals.com. "With his size and speed, he's going to exploit a lot of defenses because you can't just put a (5-foot-11-inch) corner on him."
Stoneburner is rated as a four-star recruit on rivals.com and the No. 3 prospect in Ohio on bucknuts.com, behind fellow
OSU commits Mike Adams and DeVier Posey.
