There is a new name on the Buckeye’s recruiting
scene. Clayton Northmont’s Kurt Coleman is the latest in state player to pick up an Ohio State offer. The Buckeyes must have really seen something they liked in Coleman as they have also recently offered some high profile out of state prospects as well. Kurt was a member of the 2004 Associated Press Division I All-Ohio high school football team, alongside prep standouts like Freddie Lenix, Jamario O’neal, Thaddeus Gibson and Todd Denlinger. Standing at or around 6’0 tall and weighing in at 190 pounds Kurt has the size to be an effective safety on the next level, but he may be being recruited to play corner for Ohio State. Coleman is a vicious hitter knocking out three players and forcing a fumble in a game last season. He also had an impressive one hundred yard interception return in leading the Bolts to a 61-0 victory over the Sidney Yellow Jackets. Coleman helped lead the Bolts to a GWOC Championship, with a team high ten interceptions.
#2 Kurt Coleman
Coleman has Buckeye ties as his brother Kyle currently attends the Ohio State University. The Buckeyes appear to be in good standing with Coleman, but offers from some big names along the lines of a Miami or Southern Cal could lead him to explore the national options.
