By Bill Kurelic.....Newsome made it down with fellow Glenville prospect Marcus Hall. Admits the thought of commiting crossed his mind. As of now still plans on taking a few visits.

Matter of time IMO.....

Jonathan Newsome, defensive end, Glenville, 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, ranked as a three-star prospect by Scout.com

Newsome may have come the closest of any other Ohio State prospects to recruiting in the wake of Saturday's spring game. He knows how the seven Ohio players already pledged to the Buckeyes must feel.

"Those guys got the feeling, and I had the feeling, too," Newsome said. "But a lot of them had chances to see other places.

"I'm going to take my official visits right now. I've still got Ohio State way up there, but I want to see everything else and break down what I want to do. And then I'll feel comfortable with making a decision. But I see a lot of the guys in my class are (accepting offers) early and that's something to think about, too. They've got to hold a scholarship if I decide to go there and I think they offered three other defensive ends, so if anyone else commits, that may put some pressure on me to decide."

I realize that Newsome is a tremendous defensive player would there be any possibility of him playing TE at the college level. He would definitely have the size and speed to play there. Just a thought.

Was arguably the top defender at Tuesday's Elite Training Camp at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Says no matter what position he plays, he just likes to hit.

From the MSu site. Ohio State, Indiana, and Illinois (all offered) are recruiting Newsome the hardest. Ohio State leads, with Indiana second. Talks about his interest in Michigan State.

Interesting that ILL has offered but are behind Indiana who is 2nd.

There is Ohio State, and everyone else. I think the second place school could be anybody at this point....it really doesn't matter.

I wonder who is recruiting Ohio for IU this year. They definetly seem to have a stronger inroad this year then in years past.

Says his mom's happiness is very important to him. Ohio State is his leader, but wants to see other schools before making a decision.

Looks kind of tall in those pics. Nice frame too. Look like an excellent LEO prospect IMO.
