11W - Catching Up with Will Ullmer: The Game Visit

11/28

Ohio State fans have been spoiled with good quarterback play in the last decade.

Craig Krenzel helped Jim Tressel win a national title in 2002 and a Fiesta Bowl in 2003, Troy Smith led the Buckeyes to a Fiesta Bowl win in 2005 and the championship in 2006, Todd Boeckman led OSU to the title game again in 2007, and Terrelle Pryor excelled from the day he stepped on campus, leading Ohio State to three BCS games, including two wins, during his time in Columbus.

Of course, fans of the Scarlet and Gray are enjoying Braxton Miller, recently named 2012 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, and a front-runner to win the Heisman Trophy in the 2013 season.

Urban Meyer has brought in Cardale Jones in the recruiting class of 2012 and JT Barrett in the recruiting class of 2013, but at this point it is unknown if either will be able to carry the torch once Miller departs campus. For that reason the staff is being very diligent in their evaluation of the class of 2014 quarterbacks and are looking at a number of outstanding players at the position for likely one spot in the group.

One of the players on OSU's short list is QB William Ullmer, a 6-1/190 prospect from St. John's College High School in Washington, DC. Ullmer is rated as a four-star prospect by multiple recruiting services, and 247 Sports rates him as the nation's seventh-best dual-threat quarterback in the class.

Buckeyes continue to woo Ulmer
December, 11, 2012
By Dave Hooker | ESPN.com

The coincidences are getting hard to ignore.

Not only does Will Ulmer have similar skills as Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, the two also wear the same jersey number, as both sport No. 5.

"It is unique that we both have the same number and play just alike," said Ulmer, a junior quarterback from Washington (D.C.) St John's.

Ohio State coaches see the similarities. While recruiting senior prospects is the focus this time of year, the Buckeyes still manage to keep in touch with Ulmer, who is expected to be a top member of the 2014 class. Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman visited with Ulmer via a phone call on Tuesday.

"Talked to Coach Herman today briefly," Ulmer said. "He said I'm their next Braxton and that there aren't any guys out there that can run and pass the way I do."
