When four-star Florida linebacker Elijah Melendez was offered by Ohio State on Aug. 20, he knew he had just received a significant offer.
Ohio State’s James Laurinaitis, Jim Knowles and defensive assistant Gerren DuHart each hopped on a call with Melendez last month and went into detail about how they view him as a prospect, followed by giving him the offer.
“It felt amazing,” Melendez told Eleven Warriors of receiving his OSU offer. “It was like a ‘Wow’ moment. Coach Laurinaitis said I’m the most physical and explosive linebacker in the country. They really liked watching my film.
