Inked: Early-Enrollee Austin Mack Brings Unique Blend of Speed, Size, and Character to Zone Six.

The future stars of Ohio State football officially begin their Buckeye careers as standouts from all over the country put pens to their National Letters of Intent.

Followers of Buckeye recruiting — and fans of wide receivers who are really good at catching the football — have likely been familiar with Austin Mack for some time. Identified early on as one of Urban Meyer and Zach Smith's top pass-catching targets, the Fort Wayne, Indiana standout has seen his stock soar since the early summer months.

The recruiting process for Mack began in the summer of 2013 before he even started a varsity game for Bishop Luers High School.
