A number of the nation's top football recruits in the Class of 2009 have decided they'd like to get their college decision out of the way before their junior years are through.

That trend has been magnified over the past four days as four stud prospects made their pledges, starting with Cardinal O'Hara (Springfield, Pa.) quarterback Tom Savage, who committed to Rutgers last Friday.

Rated the nation's No. 23 junior by RISE, Savage missed five games with a broken foot in the fall but still passed for 809 yards and eight touchdowns.

Santa Clara (Oxnard, Calif.) running back Cierre Wood, rated the nation's No. 13 overall recruit in the Class of 2009 by RISE, committed to Notre Dame at the Irish's annual Blue-Gold Game on Saturday. Wood ran for 2,612 yards and 34 touchdowns last season and scored 276 points.

Gateway (Monroeville, Pa.) linebacker Dorian Bell and Jeannette (Jeannette, Pa.) running back Jordan Hall capped the flurry of commitments by pledging to Ohio State on Monday. Bell is rated the nation's No. 8 junior by RISE, while Hall is considered a Top 100 recruit.

Hall, who scored 32 touchdowns this year, teamed with the Class of 2008's top overall recruit, Terrelle Pryor, to lead Jeannette to its first state title last fall. Pryor signed with Ohio State in March.

Jeannette (Pa.) High School coach Ray Reitz said he was surprised that junior running back Jordan Hall committed to Ohio State so early because he hasn't visited many colleges.

Hall, a high school teammate of incoming Ohio State recruit Terrelle Pryor, attended a Penn State game with Pryor last fall and visited Pittsburgh. He attended OSU's "junior day" two months ago, went to the spring game Saturday and committed Monday.

But Hall, who already had scholarship offers from Pitt, Michigan, Notre Dame and Penn State, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he wouldn't be one of those early commitments who changes his mind before he can sign.

"It's Ohio State, for sure," Hall said. "I don't have any doubts in my mind."
