Buckeyes pick up pledge from Keystone State defender Chad Hagan
Recruited as a safety, Chad Hagan (Canonsburg, Pa./Canon McMillan) visited Ohio State Thursday and committed to sign with the Buckeyes Class of 2010, Bucknuts.com reports.
He selected the Bucks over scholarship offers from programs such as Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, N.C. State and Buffalo.
"I've been to Ohio State a few times," Hagan said. "I love the school. It's just awesome. I like their tradition, and I like how the coaches react with the players."
As a junior he rushed for 750 yards and 12 touchdowns and recorded 63 tackles despite playing much of the season with a left shin stress fracture. Hagan has since had surgery and is expected to be 100-percent for his senior campaign.

Tressel at it again in Pennsylvania
Friday, August 7, 2009
Posted by Bill Kurelic
The past two years Ohio State coach Jim Tressel has had great success recruiting the state of Pennsylvania.
Two years ago, Tressel landed the No. 1 prospect in the Keystone State, quarterback Terrelle Pryor. He also signed linebacker Andrew Sweat, another prospect ranked among the top 10 in the state of Pennsylvania.
Last year, Tressel landed the No. 1 prospect in the state of Pennsylvania again -- linebacker Dorian Bell. Tressel also signed Bell's teammate, defensive back Corey Brown, as well Pryor's former high school teammate, running back Jordan Hall. Both Brown and Hall were among the top 10 prospects in the state of Pennsylvania.
On Thursday afternoon, Tressel landed a commitment from defensive back Chad Hagan (Canonsburg, Pa./Canon-McMillan). While Hagan is not considered one of the top 10 prospects in the state of Pennsylvania, he did have some good options. He selected Ohio State over scholarship offers from Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois, among others.
Tressel also has a very legitimate shot at landing ESPNU 150 running back Corey Brown (Springfield, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara). Brown has dozens of scholarship offers including one from Ohio State.
Brown has a strong interest in the Buckeyes, indicating Ohio State is one of his top choices. While Tressel will not have as much success in Pennsylvania this year as he has had the past two seasons, if he lands Brown to go along with Hagan, he will have done very well again in the Keystone State.
