| Lewis has a mean streak |
Ohio State’s first Senior Advanced Camp concluded Sunday with two more offers as the Buckeyes reached out to 2013 three-star defensive end Tyquan Lewis (Tarboro, N.C./Tarboro) and 2014 offensive tackle Jamarco Jones (Chicago/De La Salle Institute) after impressive showings.
From RecruitingNation:
"Being recruited as a hybrid by Ohio State, Lewis made the trip this weekend with the purpose of stitching up a few loose ends.
“It was a non-committable [offer], but now it is committable,” Lewis said. “Today it changed.
“This one means a lot. I’ll have to get my mom back up here. We’re going to sit down and we’re going to discuss this and we’re going to talk academics and things like that and see how everything else is.” "
The 6'3", 220-pound Lewis is still mulling offers from LSU, Ole Miss, Clemson and North Carolina, but he certainly put the Buckeyes in the mix after Sunday. Lewis registered eight sacks his sophomore season. He made 63 tackles with 12 sacks during his junior season.
“They’re up there pretty high,” he said. “I loved it here. This was a great visit. I don’t want to make a decision based on a place I’ve never been. [The facilities] are top notch. Everything is nice here.”
As for Jamarco Jones, who has offers from Illinois, Toledo and Vanderbilt, he thought much of the same after his trip to Columbus.
“It means a lot to me,” the 6'5", 285-pound Jones said. “They’re one of the premier college football schools in the nation, so I was pretty excited.”
Jones has hit the recruiting phase early, being a 2014 prospect. He has 2 more years in high school, meaning that although he's not ranked right now, he has plenty of time to establish himself as one of the better offensive lineman in this class.
Ohio State’s second Senior Advanced Camp is June 23.
