Thoughts: “I had a great weekend in Ohio. The visit to Ohio State was a great experience. I spoke with some of the position coaches and Urban Meyer himself which was really a dream come true. The tribute that they have to everyone that helped build the program was amazing to me. That school is one of a kind and is at the top of my interest list.”

OSU recruits “Get Open”

Following in the footsteps of a long list of former, future, and potential Buckeyes, three class of 2019 prospects with Ohio State ties were selected to participate in “The Opening”, a best-of-the-best camp being held in Texas later this summer.

Shining against the stiff competition on hand in Massillon for the regional camp, key OSU targets Zach Harrison, a defensive end from Olentangy Orange, West Bloomfield (MI) linebacker Lance Dixon, and Chicago tight end Jahleel Billingsley were among those picked to attend the event this go around.

Before they head to the longhorn state, all three of the aforementioned recruits will have tough decisions ahead of them.

A five-star prospect, the 6-foot-6, 240-pound Harrison is trying to set up visits, including one to Ohio State, after officially Penn State last month.

Dixon, who could also play safety on the next level, might be hard to pluck away from instate programs and OSU foes, Michigan, and Michigan State.

While it will be tough to add Dixon, Billingsley might be the Buckeyes best chance of landing a tight end. Al though it isn’t a position of much need in the 2019 class, Jahleel, a 6’-foot-5 standout is fresh off a visit to Columbus, where he walked away highly impressed with the coaching staff, and program as a whole.

All three recruits will be joined by current OSU pledges, offensive lineman Doug Nester, and wide receiver Garrett Wilson in Texas.
