Top-Rated Tight End Discusses Urban Meyer's Recruiting Strategy While Four-Star Wide Receiver Nears Decision

The Hurry Up is your nightly dose of updates from the Ohio State football recruiting trail, keeping tabs on the latest from commits and targets from around the country.

Lindenhurst, New York, four-star tight end Jeremy Ruckert is one of Ohio State's biggest targets, both literally and figuratively. The staff didn't take a tight end in this year's recruiting cycle, so the position is one of great need in 2018. And at 6-foot-6 and 238-pounds, he stood head and shoulders above the other prospects at Thursday's practice for The Opening Finals.

Ruckert recently narrowed down his top schools to Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Wisconsin, and hopes to make a decision sometime before his senior season begins.
