Enrolling early, along with Austin Mack, Jonathon Cooper & Tyler Gerald.

Awesome! Only thing Tuf needs is some college S&C with Coach Mick and having a head start could get him a shot at early PT and getting in the two deep. Even with the great hauls recently, he will have a conceivable chance with Perry graduating and maybe Lee leaving early (hope not there).

INKED: THE LONE LINEBACKER IN OHIO STATE'S 2016 CLASS, TUF BORLAND CHOSE HIS OWN PATH INSTEAD OF A FAMILY LEGACY

Tuf Borland has never really been the average high school superstar. His mentality, and his personality, they're as unique as his name: Tuf. He's quiet, he's intellectual and reserved off-the-field, and on it, he's a tackling machine. As a junior, Borland recorded 152 tackles, an impressive total that opened the eyes of colleges all over the country, including offers from virtually every team in the Big Ten.

“(Tuf) could have the highest football IQ of any player I’ve been around,” John Ivlow, Borland's coach at Bolingbrook told The Chicago-Tribune. “He understands the game, and he has a sixth sense of where to be on the field.”

His recruitment was not what you'd expect, but nothing about Borland is.

The 6-foot-2, 225-pound linebacker, named for a former co-worker of his father's (Tuf is his given name), came to Ohio State by way of Bolingbrook, Illinois, but his family has comes through the heart of Madison, Wisconsin. His father, Kyle, played linebacker for the Badgers in the 1980's and if you review Borland's 247Sports.com "crystal ball," locked at the time of his commitment, shows that everyone assumed Tuf would follow those footsteps.
