Add this guy to the all-name team while we’re on the subject of Steele Chambers. The four-star athlete from Roswell, Ga., had offers from a plethora of top programs but chose the Buckeyes despite being from SEC country.

Besides having one of the best names in the class, he was also rated as one of the top prospects — No. 145 overall, to be exact. He was also listed as the seventh-best athlete prospect by 247Sports and there’s a good chance he could wind up at running back for Ohio State for the next 3-4 years.

Mike Weber has declared for the NFL draft and JK Dobbins will be back for his junior year and Brian Snead announced he will be transferring from the program. That leaves Master Teague, Marcus Crowley and Demario McCall to back up Dobbins and that could mean Chambers will get some early reps.

When you watch his highlights, it’s obvious that he can run people over while also making defenders miss. His time spent playing linebacker has toughened him up and that’s going to make him a scary runner, especially with a 6-1, 215-pound frame.
