Former Ohio State running back Michael Wiley remembers his recruiting process all too clearly.
Although he had a successful prep career at Monte Vista (California) High School where he rushed for 1,901 yards and 23 touchdowns as a senior, Wiley’s love of football was so great he just wanted to keep playing at the next level, even if it was at a community college. But his life changed forever when he visited OSU. The moment he stepped foot on campus, he remembers it instantly just “felt like home.”
Wiley played for the Buckeyes from 1996-1999, earning All-Big Ten honors in 1998 and an All-Big Ten second-team selection in 1999.
