Ohio State Football: Top National Signing Day targets

1. Marvin Wilson, 5-star DT (Bellaire, TX)

If Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes can bring in Marvin Wilson as a final touch to their 2017 recruiting class, this could be seen as Urban Meyer’s best class during his time at Ohio State.

The 5-star, Under Armor All-American is the highest ranked player who has not committed to any school. Urban Meyer and the DL coach, Larry Johnson, made a visit to Wilson’s high school and his home in Bellaire, Texas. Ohio State is going all in on Wilson, as they should for such a talented player.

Wilson made his official visit to Ohio State back on Nov. 26. Ohio State has already signed a few other recruits from Texas and they are now doing their part to get Wilson to come to Columbus with them.

Ohio State has been fighting with Florida State and LSU for the 6-foot-4, 329 pound defensive tackle. LSU has been the favorite from the start, but Florida State thinks they have a legit shot as well. Chances seem slim for Ohio State to land Wilson. They laid the ground work for him to come play for the Buckeyes, they just need to hope it was enough to put them on top.

Wilson is No. 6 overall and the No. 1 defensive tackle according to 247Sports composite rankings.
