These Are The Top 3 2018 Recruits That Urban Meyer Is Targeting

The Ohio State Buckeyes may have just wrapped up their 2017 recruiting class on National Signing Day last week, but Urban Meyer & Co. have already been working hard on their 2018 class. Now that they can focus their full attention on that 2018 class, here are the three top prospects they are pursuing:

3) Palaie Gaoteote, LB
Gaoteote is the top-rated outside linebacker in the class of 2018, and the 6-foot-2, 220-pounder seems to be deciding between Ohio State and USC. For now, the Buckeyes seem to have a clear advantage.

2) Taron Vincent, DT
Vincent is the top defensive tackle and top player in the state of Florida, but the 6-foot-2, 285-pounder appears to be headed out of state. Urban Meyer has maintained a strong foothold in Florida, and that will have Vincent going to Ohio State.

1) Jackson Carman, OT
Carman will be a much easier get for the Buckeyes, as he is the top-ranked player in the state of Ohio. Meyer will do everything he can to make sure he doesn't get out of state.
