COLUMBUS -- The Ohio State football team’s 2013 recruiting class is not finished yet.

Four-star Texas running back Dontre Wilson said he is flipping his commitment from Oregon to the Buckeyes tonight. The 5-foot-10, 174-pound DeSoto native chose an OSU hat over ones from Oregon and Texas in a live announcement on the late Fox4 Dallas newscast.

Wilson appeared a firm commitment to Oregon but looked elsewhere after Ducks coach Chip Kelly left last month to take over the Philadelphia Eagles. He is rated 50th overall nationally by Scout.com and 100th by Rivals.com.

Wilson is the 24th commitment in OSU’s class of 2014. National signing day is Wednesday.
