Nick Vannett becomes the 16th.

The Buckeyes picked up their 16th member of the 2011 recruiting class, a day after they got their first of the 2012 year. Vannett chose OSU over offers from Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, Iowa, Penn State, Oregon, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and others. The 6-6/230 Vannett becomes the second tight end to verbal to this class, and hopes to be a key cog in the offense. 


This is a great pick up for the staff and the team. Vannett was ranked as the 8th best TE according to ESPN, and seems like a viable threat. Of course, being Ohio State, he will mostly be used for blocking.
