Is there any info on how much he enjoyed his visit. I believe he would be a good get as he wants to be a buckeye and he grew up a buckeye fan his whole life.

If we get Lenix, who is a OLB/S combo, then I think we only take one more safety in this class. Remember, O'neal is a corner/safety combo player, and Lenix is a linebacker/safety combo player. So no more than one more safety in this class is needed (with Whitner, Salley, Everett, Mitchell, Welch, and Patterson back).
I think it's the first to commit between Rowell, Anderson, and Sledge.
I think Sean Smalls commits as a cornerback/receiver in this class. Our DB class could look like this...
CB - Malcolm Jenkins
CB/WR - Andre Amos
CB/WR - Sean Smalls
CB/S - Jamario O'neal
S/OLB - Freddie Lenix
S - Eric Sledge (or Rowell, or Russell)
6 guys, but plenty of them can play other positions. Even Sledge can play receiver. It seems the staff likes getting those physical defensive backs that can also play receiver. That makes them know the fundamentals of both the receiver and defensive back better, so they can easily exploit matchups whenever they are in the game going against their opponent.

physical dbs specifically safties is where things are headed. especailly in the nfl, a reason salley could be sitting on a gold mine. in the nfl they need guys like sean taylor, reed to match up with shockey, gonzalez, etc. they need db speed and lb size. this is where things are going in college to. with guys like benny troupe in watson, winslow, in the past few years things are changing quick

Rowell really enjoyed his WVU official visit and said they are going to be "hard to compete with." He was hosted by Ohio freshman RB Pernell Williams. Their safeties coach also is from Ohio, right near where Rowell lives and he really likes him. He thought about committing but will take a few more visits. The Mountaineers lead.

He knows alot of players at tOSU- David Patterson is like a big brother (same High school).
Rowell takes his ACT again on Sat. and hopes to improve upon his last score (of 15). His tOSU schollie is contingent on his score improvement.
WVU and tOSU are co-favorites and will compete until the end for his commitment (assuming he gets a qualifying score). He still needs to take his tOSU official while he just took his WVU official this past weekend.
