Najee Murray Became a Member of Ohio State’s 2012 Class

Najee Murray verbally committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes this month, becoming the ninth member of a 2012 recruiting class that will most likely be smaller than national averages. The cornerback from Steubenville has good size at 5’11” and 172lbs with nice speed of 4.41 seconds in the 40 yard. He had received scholarship offers from Akron, Bowling Green, Indiana, Ohio University and Toledo among others before ending his recruitment. Ohio State seems content to pull in Ohio players in a year that they face NCAA hearings and possible penalties beyond the current player suspensions for taking extra benefits for memorabilia.
