The Buckeyes landed commitment No. 12 on Saturday when East Cleveland Shaw wide receiver Tyrone Williams selected Ohio State over scholarship offers from West Virginia, Cincinnati and others.
Here is what Billy Tucker of ESPN.com had to say about the newest OSU commitment:
The Buckeyes signed a great possession/red zone receiver last year in Duron Carter (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas), and they just received a commitment from another sure-handed outside target for the future. Williams has awesome size; is built more like a power forward and an Ohio State hardwood recruit than a receiver. He could end up as a tight end or H-back in Columbus if his large frame continues to physically develop.
The top rated receiver out of Ohio has a very large wingspan to go along with his awesome height and he knows how to utilize both to create mismatches on the jump-ball versus smaller defensive backs. Aside from his great size he has matching athleticism, body control and coordination. Williams is very athletic and consistently adjust his body naturally to come down with the difficult grab. He will surprise you with his top-end speed as well, but we also feel he may struggle to create separation as a route runner at the next level due to his lack of great polish, hip-fluidity and sharpness out of his breaks.
Williams may need some refinement but he has very impressive physical tools for the Buckeye’s coaching staff to mold and develop. A nice complement to speedy underneath receiver and ESPNU 150 prospect James Louis (Delray Beach, Fla./Atlantic Community). Williams is the sixth four star prospect for Ohio State's 2010 class which landed in the top-10 on our most recent class rankings.
