The Buckeyes have been putting together a very special class in 2011, and that continued today with the commitment of wide receiver Evan Spencer.

Spencer had been considered an Ohio State lock by insiders for awhile now, but this is still very pleasing news. The 6-1 185 pound prospect from Vernon Hills, IL finds himself in the ESPN150 while being well regarded by Scouts and Rivals. Not only that, but he is the son of Tim Spencer, who is one of the great running backs in Buckeye history.

With Spencer in the bag, the Buckeyes have 13 commitments and the spots seem to be going fast. It appears that staff might have the 2011 class locked down by the time the season starts in September. It sure will be fun to watch what happens over the next several months.
