Naples star Carlos Hyde headed to Ohio State
Standout fullback gives verbal commitment
By Craig Handel ? chandel@news-press.com ? June 24, 2008
When Naples' Carlos Hyde made an unofficial visit to Ohio State this weekend, he had pretty good company escorting him around campus.
Buckeyes incoming quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who postponed his signing in February before committing to Ohio State, was Hyde's host. He must have made a good impression because Hyde verbally offered to play for the Buckeyes.
"(Carlos) really hit it off with him," Kramer said. "They talked about winning a national championship at Ohio State.
"He's pretty fired up; but he also understands the responsibilities and obligations. I reminded him, 'Carlos, when you go from high school to a school that's one of the top in the country, you can never be tired, never be tired of running. You have to make that your focus.' He understands that."
Hyde wasn't available for comment.

Kramer added one person who he thinks will help guide Hyde is fellow Southwest Florida player Brian Rolle. The Immokalee High graduate will be a sophomore linebacker at Ohio State.
"Brian is that kind of guy, a top-shelf guy, who we're fortunate will help Carlos along," he said.

Does anybody have any inside info on this situation? Sounds like there's a great heartwarming story there possibly.

That might be why he stayed in Cinci for a few extra days before heading up to C-Bus. Goes to show how crazy recruitniks can be. We were all worried about him staying with the family instead of taking his visit and it turns out that that was what sealed the deal.

I just watched his film... oh my god... Seriously this guy's film was better than beanie's I thought. Does this kid run with a purpose or what? Not only does he have power, but the vision he displays is outstanding. Wow I just thought "eh must be an average RB" but gosh I dunno if i've ever been more impressed by a film. By the way he's got some jets too!!
Carlos and Pryor would just be such a mismatch for everyone else. Oh then you still have that Saine guy, and Boom Herron.
Can't wait for you to get here Carlos! GO BUCKS!
