Scout$--Bowen Talks About The Buckeyes

Branden is excited about visiting tOSU and says if offered he would consider committing. Also wants to visit Washington State soon.
 
That's one enormous kid! Glad that Urban made some very good inroads in Utah(and more western Midwest states) that state(s) may pay some big dividends for us in the future.

Ohio State recruiting: Branden Bowen, 2015 OL, recaps recent visit
Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes might have recently added verbal commitments from Grant Schmidt and Kevin Feder, but that doesn't mean they are sleeping on class of 2015 offensive linemen. Looking to bring in two or three more bodies up front, the big boys are once again playing a huge factor in the Ohio State recruiting efforts.

Over the last few months, the Buckeyes have had their fair share of prospects on campus for unofficial visits. One of the many talented recruits to make it to Columbus recently was three-star offensive tackle Branden Bowen.

"I loved my trip out to Ohio State. The things that stood out to me the most were the facilities and the coaching staff. The Facilities were unlike any other I've been to." Bowen, who traveled all the way from Draper, Utah to get more familiar with the OSU program, stated to Land-Grant Holy Land.

"I talked with Coach Warinner and Coach Meyer a lot and they were great. They're very likeable coaches, but they still are firm in letting me know that they'll make me into the best player possible by doing whatever it takes."

With offers already under his belt from the likes of Utah, BYU, Boise State, Colorado, Oregon State, and Washington State, the 6'7 330-pound Bowen was hoping to add a scholarship offer from the Buckeyes while mingling with the staff in Columbus last week. Even though he didn't officially receive an offer from OSU during his trip, Branden is confident things will work out in the end.

"Coach Meyer told me that if I wanted to be a Buckeye, he would make it happen." Bowen said. "I was told by my personal trainer (John Madsen), who is a former player and friend of Coach Meyer's, that it's a 'They'll offer when you're ready to commit' type of deal."

As he's trying to pinpoint what program he would like to spend the next few years at, the visits are far from over for the massive lineman. In the near future, Branden is trying to make it out to USC, UCLA, and Washington State. If he likes what he sees, he could very well commit on the spot.

"Right now, I'm looking to commit anytime between now and December. Just whenever I get that feeling of 'this is it'," he said. "I don't have any schools that stick out to me, although visiting Ohio State was a really big eye opener. As to what I'm looking for [in a program], first, I'm looking for a school where I can get a meaningful degree. Second, I'm looking for a school where I can play early. Third, I'm looking for a school that's family oriented and is strong in team unity."

The Hurry-Up
BOWEN AND GUSTIN SEE WARINNER
Ohio State offensive line coach Ed Warinner took advantage of the off week with a little travel today. Warinner hit the road to Utah where he stopped in and checked on two 2015 prospects: offensive lineman Branden Bowen and linebacker/defensive end Porter Gustin. Bowen, a Utah commitment, said the visit went well and only increased his excitement about getting to Columbus in a few weeks.

"(Ed) Warinner was in the school today," Bowen told 11W. "He was just telling me he loves how high my 'ceiling' is, and that I could be a three-to-four year guy in their program and then move on to the NFL."

For Bowen, his official visit to Ohio State is planned and ready.

"I'm going there for sure on November 1st, when they play Illinois," he continued. "Plane tickets are official as of last week."
