That is an excellent comparison. I am just beside myself with joy on this one...to me, perhaps the biggest commit we have landed since UFM came here. I know that might seem like hyperbole but it is not...this is the DT we have been looking to land for a long time.

I have no GIF to even react to this but man, I am just thrilled to have Vincent on board. I really think he and Barrow will wreck it for us in the future.

From 11W, sums it up perfectly. (Barf is a master):

Welcome to the Buckeye family, Taron!!

I said it in the 2018 recruiting discussion thread, but Taron owns one of the most impressively dominant DT films I've ever seen, especially considering the talent he's playing at IMG.

If this staff and program can convince Matthew Jones to pull the trigger to play 1-Tech next to Taron... Watch. Out.

Buckeye Football Commitment Impact: Defensive Tackle Taron Vincent

TaronVincent247.jpg


Taron Vincent was a big commitment for the Buckeyes.

The Buckeyes finally landed a 5-star defensive tackle when Florida’s Taron Vincent committed to the Buckeyes yesterday via Twitter. Vincent became the fifth member of OSU’s 2018 class.

What kind of impact will Vincent’s commitment have on Ohio State now and going forward?

The Player

Vincent is a 6-foot-2 285-pound defensive tackle out of Bradenton, Florida via Baltimore, Maryland. He is rated as the No. 1 defensive tackle prospect in the country for 2018 and is also Florida’s No. 1 overall prospect. He is now the top prospect in the class of 2018 for the Ohio State recruiting class.

His father was NFL great and current Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent, so he has a football pedigree to be sure. After transferring from his home school in Baltimore, Vincent joined the IMG Academy and had a monster junior season. He finished with 92 tackles, five sacks, and 10 tackles for a loss.

The Comparison

When I see the film on Vincent, a recent Buckeye player comes to mind in Cameron Heyward. Heyward was an imposing force on the Ohio State defensive line from 2007-2010. Vincent has the body type and the speed that Heyward possessed while he was disrupting offensive lines for the Buckeyes.

Heyward came in as a true freshman and made an immediate impact for the Buckeyes, helping lead them to the BCS National Championship game in his first season. He finished his storied career at Ohio State as a four-year player who racked up 162 total tackles, 31 tackles for a loss and 15 sacks.

Vincent has the same ability that Heyward did when he was a Buckeye, and if he is able to produce for three or four years at the level that Heyward did when he was at OSU, then the Buckeyes should again have that game-changing player stuffing the middle on the defensive line.

A rotation of Vincent, Barrow and Garrett is the thing that causes O line nightmares

I don't think Cam Heyward is the body type I would compare Vincent to, but that's just me. I see more Sheldon Richardson. Probably splitting hairs.

Have to agree there, and I don't think it's splitting hairs. Would love to see him bring any number of Heyward's attributes to the Buckeye defense, but I don't see body type as one of them.

And earned an invite to The Opening:

Five-star defensive tackle and Ohio State commit Taron Vincent of Bradenton (Fla.) IMG is headed to Nike's The Opening finals in Oregon this summer.

Shocker.

Rated the No. 1 defensive tackle in the 2018 recruiting class in the 247Sports composite rankings, Vincent participated in the camp's regional in Washington, D.C., on Sunday and earned the invitation.

According to 247Sports recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong, Vincent had a very productive day and clear stood out as one of the camp's best talents.

That's now three of Ohio State's seven commitments who have been invited to The Opening finals in Beaverton, Ore., an invitational-only camp that's reserved only for the elite of the elite talents.

Four-star all-purpose back Jaelen Gill of Westerville (Ohio) South and five-star cornerback Jaiden Woodbey of Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco have also been invited.

The 6-foot-2, 285-pound Vincent has been committed to Ohio State since April. He chose the Buckeyes over Florida State and roughly 30 other scholarship offers.
