On June 12, Urban Meyer and Ohio State earned a verbal pledge from Tate Martell—a 4-star prospect and the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the country. He was the 13th pledge in the Buckeyes' recruiting class, and he further tightened Ohio State's grasp on the No. 1 spot for the 2017 cycle.
And with Martell in the fold, Ohio State's grip on that top spot shouldn't loosen.
Martell himself is a special talent who would instantly boost any recruiting class in the country. He's the No. 33 overall prospect nationally, and his impressive offer list indicates that he could play anywhere he wanted.
