Maryland’s [autotag]Jireh Edwards[/autotag] released his top 10 list and the Buckeyes made the cut for the 6-foot, 1-inch, 194-pound prospect. The nations No. 71 overall prospect and 5th safety according to the 247Sports Composite Ranking’s list is a who’s who of college football.
His finalists include Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, USC, Miami and a few others. Ohio State has been after Edwards since this January when a scholarship was offered to the impressive safety. Many of his other suitor followed the Buckeyes lead, so that does give them a bit of an upper-hand.
