Ohio State Football: Top National Signing Day targets
By Jordan Luth
4. James Robinson, WR 4-star (Lakeland, FL)
Urban Meyer has only been able to bring in two true wide receivers from this draft class. Picking up James Robinson as a third would be huge.
The Buckeyes looked like they were going to bring in three talented receivers from this draft class, but as things tend to go in the recruiting process, that changed. U.S. Army All-American Tyjon Lindsey had originally planned to come to Ohio State. Lindsey, who is a 4-star wide receiver, backed out from Ohio State in early January and has since committed to Nebraska.
Robinson can potentially fill the spot that Lindsey left. He made his official visit to Columbus on Jan. 20. Offensive assistant coach Tony Alford has also made a visit to meet with Robinson about a potential future at Ohio State.
Ohio State was actually one of the first offers that Robinson received. The Buckeyes made him an offer all the way back in October. Ohio State has had their eyes on him for a while now. The Florida Gators have been recruiting him very hard as well. They appear to be at the top of Robinson’s list at the moment, but no one will know until National Signing Day.
James Robinson is No. 114 overall and 14th at his position according to 247Sports composite rankings.
