LOCAL PRODUCT MARCUS WILLIAMSON LIVING OUT CHILDHOOD DREAM PLAYING FOR OHIO STATE
Marcus Williamson was in middle school when Ohio State hired Urban Meyer.
And as a local kid, Williamson remembers that day fondly.
“It was just cool growing up here when they hired him,” Williamson said on National Signing Day. “I was in middle school, I think I was in like seventh grade, and it was just like the man, the myth, the legend.”
“Then you start getting recruited and it’s like, ‘Whoa, that’s Coach Meyer.’ That was pretty cool.”
Williamson is a Columbus native who attended Westerville South High School for three years. He spent his senior season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, but he’s an Ohio kid at heart.
Ohio prospects with offers from Ohio State tend to end up playing for the Buckeyes. When you factor in Williamson’s Columbus connection, it was essentially a sure thing from the moment he got the scholarship offer from Meyer.
Now, he’s living out his dream.
“I always knew this would be the place,” Williamson said. “My dad used to tell me all the time when I was growing up I would be a Buckeye, but I didn’t really feel too much pressure because you just know when it’s right.”
It’s easy for Williamson to get a bit overlooked in Ohio State’s monstrous 2017 recruiting class for a couple of reasons. One, he was a local kid who committed to the Buckeyes rather early in the process. Two, the Buckeyes signed four other players at his position — including a pair of five-star prospects.
But make no mistake about it: Williamson can play.
“I’m just a competitor and I want to go out there and win,” Williamson said. “I’m just going to work and if I get on the field, that’s great. But when my time comes I’ll be ready to see what I can do on this level.”

to quote @BUCKYLE "special....powers...."
“I think Midwest people, Ohio people, we’re built a little different. I think you really need that kind of heartbeat on the team,” Williamson said. “Of course you need the national talent — get some Florida speed, a little Cali swag — but I think you still need that homegrown feeling on the team.”

BETTER KNOW A BUCKEYE: MARCUS WILLIAMSON
This week's Better Know a Buckeye feature continues with a profile of Marcus Williamson, a cornerback prospect from Westerville by way of the IMG Academy in Bradenton.
MARCUS WILLIAMSON
This feature will proceed in the usual fashion. I start with his recruitment, discussing how Williamson wanted to play for a winning program like Ohio State or Michigan State, the two most recent Big Ten Championship Game participants at the time. Thereafter, I discuss the reasons for his commitment. I next provide a scouting report of Williamson that details his strengths and areas for improvement. I close with projections of a redshirt in 2017 and some highlight film for the reader to watch at the end of the feature.
HIS RECRUITMENT
Marcus Williamson strives for excellence and hails from a Franklin County suburb just outside the 270 loop. This put him in Ohio State's orbit from the beginning of his recruitment. He attended a position camp at Ohio State and the Friday Night Lights event in the summer of 2014. His remarks were glowing, as was Kerry Coombs' feedback to him. Coombs told Williamson he wanted to make him a Buckeye soon.
Kentucky, as it routinely does, moved early on the Ohio prospect with a scholarship offer on September 5, 2014. It was his second offer since Toledo had offered that June. Tennessee followed with its own scholarship offer ten days later.
Williamson appreciated both programs but never indicated it would move the needle in his recruitment while he was still a sophomore. Williamson wanted to play for a winning program, highlighting that his interest focused on Ohio State and Michigan State (which had just played in the Big Ten Championship Game in 2013).
