Ohio State will reportedly check in on one of the top 2017 running backs on Monday.
With most teams waiting to find out which bowl game they will take part in, coaches from across the country will flock to high school campuses this week to check in on top prospects.
Wasting no time, OSU will be out in full force on Monday trying to lock down future Buckeyes. One stop on Ohio State's itinerary is Florida. Looking to continue their recent success in the Sunshine State, the staff will meet with many recruits on their big board, including 2017 running back Adarius Lemons.
As first reported by Lynden Ostrander of the Tampa Tribune, the Buckeyes will be one of the first programs stopping by Clearwater High for the four-star standout. Lemons, who rushed for over 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns this season, holds more than a dozen scholarship offers. Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, Louisville, Missouri, UCLA, and West Virginia are just some of the current programs after the 6'1, 185-pounder.
According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Lemons is considered the 19th running back, and 283rd overall prospect in the class of 2017.
Ohio State coaches will on the road all week. Keep checking Land-Grant Holy Land for the latest in the world of Buckeye recruiting.
Corley comes up big
Urban Meyer and the Ohio State coaching staff are looking to add another wide receiver to the Buckeyes' class of 2016 before February. One of the staff's top choices to fill the spot is Detroit Martin Luther King senior standout Donnie Corley.
A four-star prospect with offers from not just the Buckeyes, but Michigan State, Michigan, Notre Dame and others, Corley once again proved why so many programs are trying to add him to their roster on during Michigan's Division II state championship on Friday.
After marching down the field late in the game, Corley came up huge for King. Down 38-34 with 2 seconds left on the clock, the 6'3 Corley hauled in a 40 yard touchdown reception as the play clock struck zero to lead King to a state title over Lowell, 40-38.
