Marcus Williamson was in middle school when Ohio State hired Urban Meyer.
And as a local kid, Williamson remembers that day fondly.
“It was just cool growing up here when they hired him,” Williamson said on National Signing Day. “I was in middle school, I think I was in like seventh grade, and it was just like the man, the myth, the legend.”
“Then you start getting recruited and it’s like, ‘Whoa, that’s Coach Meyer.’ That was pretty cool.”
Williamson is a Columbus native who attended Westerville South High School for three years. He spent his senior season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, but he’s an Ohio kid at heart.
