Ohio State has taken a more national approach with its recruiting under Urban Meyer, and as the 2017 cycle nears the critical summer season, it's clear that the coaching staff is trying to raid the talent-rich state of Texas.
It started in early March when the Buckeyes secured a commitment from 4-star all-purpose back J.K. Dobbins—Texas' No. 6 prospect for the class of 2017. Dobbins had offers from all the in-state players—Baylor, Houston, TCU, Texas and Texas A&M—in addition to national brands such as Florida, Notre Dame, Stanford and USC.
One look at Dobbins' highlight reel makes it easy to understand all the attention he's receiving.
