Amir Riep will announce his college plans this weekend.
One of the most sought after class of 2017 prospects, and recruits left on the Ohio State big board will be off the market in a matter of days. Hours after attending the Friday Night Light camp at Ohio State, four-star defensive back Amir Riep (Cincinnati, OH / Colerain) will announce his college commitment on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. in front of family, teammates, friends and others in the gym of Cincinnati Colerain, according to Adam Baum of Cincinnati.com.
Riep, who racked up nearly 50 full ride scholarship offers during the process from universities around the country is considered the 13th cornerback and 114th overall recruit in the senior class, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Even though powerhouse football programs such as Alabama, Michigan State and Notre Dame were among the schools to give the 5-foot-11, 185-pound standout a chance to suit up for their program, many around the recruiting scene currently believe the Riep will end up playing on the next level for Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes.
Already blessed with the top recruiting class in the country, Riep’s pledge would add even more pressure on the chokehold Meyer has on the likes of Georgia, and Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide.
With 14 commitments at the moment, Riep would be the fifth defensive back to jump at the chance to play for the Buckeyes, joining Shaun Wade, Marcus Williamson, Isaiah Pryor and Brendon White in the class of 2017.
Will the rumors come true or will Amir Riep shock the world and decided to take his talents outside of Ohio? We won’t have to wait much longer to find out. Stay with the Land-Grant Hold Land for the latest.
