Ohio State recruiting: State Secrets - Buckeyes contact top 2017 prospects, Tyson Carter plans visit

Days before they kick off the season, Ohio State still finds time for recruiting.

Ever since the clock struck midnight yesterday members of the Ohio State coaching staff were hard at work contacting many of the top junior prospects in the country. With the staff now allowed to freely communicate with class of 2017 prospects via social media, Urban Meyer, Mark Pantoni, Chris Ash and the rest of the OSU coaches didn't waste any time tracking down and reaching out to standout recruits.

Quarterback Danny Clark, running back Todd Sibley, defensive tackle Jerron Cage and the rest of the OSU class of 2017 verbal pledges were some the first prospects to hear from their future bosses.
