COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Even though one recruit was arrested and his future is in question, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was pleased with the 23 players who signed letters of intent Wednesday to be Buckeyes.
Offensive line recruit Chris Carter was arrested on Tuesday for alleged sexual imposition of girls at his Cleveland high school. He was not listed as a signee and his future at Ohio State is in limbo.
The Buckeyes got a late surprise, though, when defensive back Doran Grant from Akron signed on Wednesday morning.
The headliner of the team is acclaimed quarterback Braxton Miller out of Wayne High School, near Dayton, Ohio.
No running backs were brought in, but Ohio State signed five defensive linemen, four defensive backs and four linebackers.
