How Ohio State Landed the Nation's Top Tackle in Five-star Nicholas Petit-Frere

This one will be tough to top.

Back in February of 2013, Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes scored a massive signing day win when five-star safety Vonn Bell signed with Ohio State over the likes of Tennessee and Alabama. Later that year, Raekwon McMillan – another five-star from SEC territory – sided with the Buckeyes over Alabama and Clemson.

The Bell and McMillan victories are unquestionably two of Meyer's greatest accomplishments on the recruiting trail since his arrival in Columbus. Both players were a major part of the 2014 national championship run and both would go on to be selected in the second round of the NFL Draft.
