Maryland Natives Dwayne Haskins, Keandre Jones Taking Different Paths Toward Stardom

January of 2016 was a pretty big month for Urban Meyer and Ohio State.

Late in the recruiting calendar, the Buckeyes delivered a huge blow to the Maryland Terrapins and new head coach D.J. Durkin when two in-state stars flipped their commitments from the Terps to the Buckeyes.

Ohio State's quarterback recruiting was a wild ride during the entire 2016 cycle as prospects like Jarrett Guarantano and Tristen Wallace were very much in the mix at one point. It wasn't until January, however that the Buckeyes finally got their guy in Potomac, Maryland's Dwayne Haskins. The four-star was a spark plug on the trail and was well respected by many of America's top players.
