The James Laurinaitis effect is once again having a positive impact on Ohio State football recruiting.
We have recently seen it with the commitment of Florida linebacker, Tarvos Alford. It is happening again with Texas linebacker, Johan Williams. According to a report by On3’s Steve Wiltfong, the 6-foot, 3-inch, 203-pound prospect will take a visit to Columbus next weekend with an official visit to come in June.
Williams is an elite prospect, a 5-star according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings as the No. 13 overall player and top linebacker in the country. It won’t be easy for the Buckeyes to lure him north, but anytime multiple visits are set up, it’s a great sign.
With two commits at the position, Alford and Eli Lee, adding Williams would be the icing on the cake.
