Although [autotag]Prentiss “Air” Noland[/autotag] had to wait until last week for his [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] offer, it was the one he was waiting for. The Georgia lefty quarterback committed to the Buckeyes tonight.
He becomes the first true left-handed quarterback on OSU’s roster since [autotag]Steve Bellisari[/autotag] in the early 2000s. Yes, [autotag]Torrance Gibson[/autotag] came in as a quarterback, but that didn’t last long as he transitioned to wide receiver shortly after trying his hand at quarterback.
Noland has steadily risen in the recruiting rankings, initially ranked as the No. 200 overall recruit and now sitting as No. 84 overall. The 6-foot, 3-inch, 195-pounder selected Ohio State over offers from Alabama, Clemson, Oregon, and others.
The ninth commit for the Buckeyes will have plenty of weapons at his disposal and is reunited with high school teammate, tight end Jelani Thurman. After watching his highlight tape, Ohio State fans should be ecstatic about the future of the position.
Find out what I liked about Noland’s game after watching his junior season recap in my scout’s view and what to expect during his tenure in Columbus.
