Less than 48 hours after receiving an offer from the Buckeyes during his official visit, offensive lineman Joey O'Connor has committed.

The 6-4 290 pound product from Windsor, Colorado, had originally committed to Penn State, but decided to part ways with the Nittany Lions after the scandal broke. In recent weeks he had narrowed his list to Cal, Iowa and Ohio State, and despite not having an offer, made the trip to Columbus for a visit. He received the offer he was looking for, and has become an important piece to the 2012 recruiting class.

He is the fourth offensive lineman in the class joining Taylor Decker, Jacoby Boren, and Pat Elflein. He is slotted to play guard or possibly center for the Buckeyes, and helps provide quality depth at a spot of desperate need. Meyer and the staff will still be looking to add one more tackle, likely either Jordan Diamond or Kyle Dodson in the coming weeks.
