Here's the link to that article, courtasy of Bucknut11.
Ben is the only DE listed in that top 10, which means that Rivals sees him as their #1 DE at this point in time. Things can change very quickly, though. At this point last year, we were ALL drooling about the possibilties of getting 2 QB's out of Hartline, Schlister, Kirbus, and Hakes.
Any way you slice this one though, Ben Martin is a MUST-GET prospect this year for the Buckeyes! |

good point...we were also drooling over Rob Rose and he ended as the #1 DE per Rivals.

The thing about all the QBs was that they were the only names that had been thrown out there.
A couple of them ended up at nice schools, like Hartline(UK) and Nelson(Iowa), but they just didnt have the size to cut it here. As of right now.
As for Martin, he has size, speed, and all the things you look for in a DE. He is being talked about as the number one DE in the country so I think he is a can't miss type prospect.

I agree 110%. Especially when the other team we are up against is ND.

I would agree also. If we want to keep our fence in Ohio up, it starts with the top player in Ohio in Martin. We need to keep Weis out of Ohio and Martin's recruitment may be crucial in doing so. Not to mention what an outstanding player he is. |

The top Ohioan in '07, Martin has a college-ready body and more than enough speed.

My two brothers-in-law and my step-brother-in-law all played football at LaSalle and still have good contacts at the school. Last night I was told that Martin is a slight lean to ND over OSU at this time.
