Gateway junior Dorian Bell didn't feel the need to wait any longer.
A trip to Ohio State University on Saturday and experiencing the pageantry of the Buckeyes' spring football game convinced him Columbus was the place for him.
Bell verbally committed to Ohio State on Monday and celebrated the decision in front of family and his Gator teammates and coaches.
"It felt like I never left home," said Bell said about the atmosphere at Ohio State. "The coaches, fans, everybody there, were great. It was a fun time. There was no one afraid to talk to me. It felt like a really big family."
More than 30,000 people turned out for Ohio State's spring football game.
"Even though it was raining, the fans really turned out for the game," Bell said.
"There were a lot of people tailgating. That atmosphere was everything a recruit could ask for."

Bell officially will make his decision final on signing day in February. "Dorian's decision is 100 percent concrete," Smith said. "We'll try to keep the other teams away and focus our energy to the other kids looking to make a decision."
