A little over a week ago, news broke that Akron's Todd Sibley (Hoban) had been asked to delay his enrollment and take a grayshirt. Sibley, who has been committed to Ohio State since last April, described the proposition as a "disappointment" and a "huge letdown."
The Buckeyes have a commitment from do-it-all Texas back J.K. Dobbins and they continue to chase Bama commit Najee Harris and Cam Akers. Both Akers and Harris have been on campus this spring and the former is already planning a return trip. With Ohio State in on so many of the nation's elite prospects and operating with a limited number of scholarships, the numbers crunch appears to be a very real thing for the 2017 class.
