Elflein, 6 feet 3 and 285 pounds, reacted almost immediately after being offered a scholarship yesterday in the wake of Lakewood St. Edward lineman Kyle Kalis decommitting from OSU and pledging to Michigan last week. That gives Ohio State two offensive linemen in the 2012 class from Pickerington. Elflein, who was also courted by Purdue, Northwestern and Indiana, will be joined by Jacoby Boren of Pickerington Central.
Roberts, 6-2 and 225 pounds, was offered on Monday, discussed it with his parents and "prayed about it," he said, before making the call yesterday. Roberts, who has a 4.3 grade-point average, received offers from Purdue, Wake Forest, Cincinnati and six other schools. He said two factors swayed him.
You have to wonder if Mike Vrabel could be a contributing factor in picking up these recruits. While he has only been on the staff for less than a week, Ohio State is already trying to jump start their recruiting.
Here are some videos of their skills in action. Enjoy.
