NEW ALBANY, Ohio -- Lightly recruited by the nation's top college football programs, Darron Lee dubs himself "Mr. UnderRated" on Twitter.

No matter.

Rated as a three-star athlete, Lee is headed to Ohio State. Lee announced his commitment Tuesday, becoming the 13th member of the Buckeyes' 2013 recruiting class.

Lee received the scholarship offer after attending his second of two summer camps at OSU last weekend. He chose Ohio State over Boston College, Illinois, Purdue, West Virginia, Toledo, and Bowling Green among others.

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Lee, who played quarterback, wide receiver, and defensive back as a junior last season, projects as a linebacker or safety in college.
