A few days ago Buckeye fans found out that highly sought out quarterback Tajh Boyd had trimmed his list to two schools, and now another Ohio State prospect has done the same. According to the East Valley Tribune, senior defensive tackle Corey Adams has two schools left in the running. He eliminated USC, which was a huge shocker, and is going to choose between Ohio State and Arizona State.
This is big news for Ohio State because defensive tackle has been one of the weakest positions this season. At 6-4 290, Adams has the intangibles and size to be a big time player in the middle of the defensive line. The biggest challenge is going to be pulling him away from his home state of Arizona. In fact, Adams' coach feels Arizona State might have the edge.
"Adams has been mum on his choice, though Sanders (his coach) thinks he is leaning towards Arizona State. Sanders said Adams’ father didn’t even know the direction he was leaning."
This is a big story to watch play out over the next month. Adams will be making his choice on National Signing Day (Feb. 4), and is one of a handful of recruits still on the board for the Buckeyes.
