...when a player like Michael Harris (Tucker, Ga.) is eager to hear from you, it’s worth doing a little investigation. That’s what is happening now between the country’s 13th-ranked inside linebacker and Ohio State.
“I was raised in Ohio,” Harris told Land of 10. “I lived there my first couple years. I’ve been back a few summers and still have family up there. I was up there last summer.”
Harris has offers from Alabama, Auburn and Georgia among his top 15, but it’s rare to find a prospect from the South who views Ohio State the way he does. He has been talking to the Buckeyes and didn’t hold back when discussing what a potential offer would mean to him.
“I’m hearing from the boss man, coach Urban Meyer,” Harris said. “(Quarterbacks coach Ryan) Day, Mark Pantoni and (new linebackers coach Billy) Davis. We’ve talked about (a potential offer), but they want to know me better. One thing I don’t have is someone to drive me eight hours up there.
“I’ve always loved that school and always said I was going to go there. If my dreams come true, it just shows me that anything can happen if I put my mind to it. All the work that I’ve put in is for that offer to come. It would mean a lot to me.”
