Talking to coaches around the state, MDVarsity was impressed with the amount of ground Ohio State was able to cover while in town.

Melvin (along with Joe Akers, another player whom OSU is recruiting from Maryland) was a top 10 performer at the PSU Nike camp. According to the Rivals article, Melvin may be the top DE prospect in the country this year.
