Three More Commit for 2009

Over the weekend Ohio State added three more recruits to its 2009 recruiting class; wide receiver Duron Carter or Ft. Lauderdale, FL, wide receiver/defensive back Justin Green of Louisville ,KY and running back Carlos Hyde of Naples, FL.

FL WR Duron Carter

    Carter, the son of former Buckeye and NFL great Chris Carter, has the size (6-3, 185) and speed to be the next great Buckeye receiver.  Reports say that Carter runs crisp routes and an incredible vertical.

KY CB Justin Green

    Green brings an entirely different game to the team than his brother Marcus, a 6-3 235 defensive end, brought to Columbus as a part of Jim Tressel’s first recruiting class in 2001. At 5-11, 178, Justin has the speed and quickness to play on either side of the ball.

FL RB Carlos Hyde

    Carlos Hyde’s running style and body size has been compared to current Buckeye Beanie Wells.  At 6-1, 235, Hyde is the kind power runner that Tressel and Buckeye drool over.  Carlos will fit nicely into the current scheme if Wells decides to opt for the NFL following the 2008 season.

    With these three additions the 2009 recruiting class totals 19 and will undoubtedly be one of the best in the country.
