Yet another OSU commitment
It’s Dominic Clarke of Tuscarora High School in Maryland:
“Never, in my wildest dreams, did I ever think I would be playing football at Ohio State,” Clarke, who was recruited as a cornerback, said on Monday. “I didn’t used to have a favorite college football team, but I do now.”
Rivals.com lists Clarke at 5-10 and 183 pounds. But, he benches 300 pounds, which means he makes up for height with very good strength. He also has that 4.41 40 time.
Clarke really showed up on the radar last month after impressing at the Penn State Nike Camp. Even then, he seemed to be waiting for the Buckeyes to make a move.
“I think Ohio State might be offering me soon, they really like me a lot,” he said. “If they offered that would be big. They are a name that speaks for itself. The Stanford coaches have come by the school as well. I’m also hearing from Connecticut, Rutgers and Duke.”
Clarke’s commitment gives the Buckeyes 16 members of next year’s recruiting class, which includes C.J. Barnett of Northmont High School (strange, though, that Barnett is wearing a Michigan sweatshirt in his Rivals.com photo).
Clarke agreed it was not an easy choice, picking Ohio State over the others. “You would like to make all of the schools interested in you happy by saying yes,” he said. “But in the end, you have to make the decision that’s right for you.”
