Ohio State gets commitments from two defensive ends

4/23/2012

COLUMBUS -- Ohio State coach Urban Meyer added to his blue-chip recruiting haul today, securing commitments from Florida defensive end Joey Bosa and North Carolina defensive end Lewis Neal.

Bosa, ranked by Rivals.com as the nation's 14th-best overall prospect, confirmed his commitment on Twitter while Neal's pledge was reported by Rivals.com. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Bosa, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., native, is the nephew of former OSU defensive end Eric Kumerow. He chose the Buckeyes over Florida, Alabama and Michigan among others.

"Thank you to everyone who had an interest in me," Bosa wrote on Twitter. "I can’t even say how thankful I am but Ohio State is just the place for me."
