Ohio State class of 2013 verbal commits: how they performed in high school football week nine

While Braxton Miller was announced "symptom-free" and expected to practice tomorrow, we'll have to see how he's feeling when push comes to shove. Whether or not he keeps him out of practice, Buckeye fans can rest easy knowing the Buckeyes have a solid back up ready to play at a moment's notice.

As for high school, the regular season schedule is starting to finish its run and the state playoffs are on the horizon. Let's see how some future Buckeyes did over the weekend:

DE Joey Bosa - St. Thomas Aquinas won big over Davie Nova and defensive lineman Joey Bosa played a large part throughout the game . Bosa had a key game, contributing two sacks, three tackles for loss and forced two fumbles that he recovered on his own. A dominating performance, to say the least.

DE Tracy Sprinkle - Tracy Sprinkle is turning into a monster. The stat line from the game this weekend: 12 total tackles, 4 sacks, 3 quarterback hurries and a pass deflection. Sprinkle was all over on the defensive side of the ball, proving that stars don't always show talent.
