Hopefully, we have ended the habit of letting very good GCL South linebackers from going elsewhere.

Not just elsewhere but most specifically notre dame and Boston college. Having coombs on the staff and a great HC that graduated from UC helps immensely. Not to mention having a UC coach who could care less about recruiting the city of cincinnati (because he thinks hes still in the south)also helps us

Once committed to Notre Dame for lacrosse, Ohio State LB commit Sam Hubbard emerging as top football prospect: Buckeyes recruiting

Cincinnati Archbishop Moeller's Sam Hubbard was once committed to Notre Dame to play lacrosse early in his high school career, but once he realized he was good enough to play football - and Ohio State was interested - things changed. Now he is emerging as one of the best defensive prospects in the country. (Rivals.com)

COLUMBUS, Ohio – With his backpack draped across his shoulder, Sam Hubbard was blissfully wandering the Cincinnati Archbishop Moeller hallways to change classes when he looked up and saw Urban Meyer and Kerry Coombs.

Hubbard was aware that Ohio State could be sending coaches to his school for a visit that week in February, but he was blindsided when he saw perhaps the most iconic coach in college football trying to seek him out.

“I was shocked,” Hubbard said.

That was the moment it really sunk in that he was a major college football prospect.

There were instances like it in the past, like when he told his coach, John Rodenberg, to reach out to four major college football programs – Ohio State, Michigan, Stanford and North Carolina – and all replied with great interest.

That was a test. Hubbard thought to himself, if he were really good enough at football to play it in college, those programs would at least be interested. Even though they all were, it still wasn’t quite enough for him to really think he’d break his oral commitment to play lacrosse at Notre Dame.

This was different. When he saw Meyer and Coombs, Ohio State’s cornerbacks coach and a longtime Cincinnati-area high school head coach, in the hallways, it was time to stop kidding himself – he was one of the most coveted football prospects in the country.

“That was kind of the time I realized that this was a real thing for me,” Hubbard said. “I was committed to Notre Dame for Lacrosse and that’s what I thought I was doing, but that opportunity was too much not to look into.”

Very rangy player with excellent closing speed. Nose for the ball. The last two classes will put tOSU in a good spot at LB for a long time.

LOVE Sam's progression as a football player. I honestly think he stays at LB...guy flys downhill and plays violent, very comfortable in coverage, and his closing speed is really remarkable, especially considering his size. Will definitely need to bulk up some and work on breaking his feet down and squaring up to tackle. However, his intangibles are just off the charts and his ceiling is the highest in this class.
