Has never been added/counted to OSU's class.

He's enrolled and was a recruited - and ranked (119th RB) prospect.

Scholarship or no - he is a two-star recruit just like the two-star recruits that dot all but a handful of elite schools.

Just seems he should count for something in this class.

walk on ........

Walk ons don't count even though he's like the average Penn State commit.

Gotta love a kid who wants to play for the hometown team. Nice frame. Unfortunately, it might be tough for him to earn the scholarship in his last couple of years when we are facing the sanctions. Kids like William are very important to the program.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but seeing as he's only a freshman, we are done with sanctions by 'his last couple of years'.

Correct, but Meyer might need to fill the depth chart with 4 and 5 star talent by the time William would be deserving. Those 3 spots will hurt our development even if it does not seem significant now. But perhaps if Houston is a great special teams and overall team player Meyer might think it is worth it.

I think you mean "run on"

If Houston works hard and im sure he will, then in 2 years when we go from 82 to 85 schollies, houston will get his scholly.

I love hearing about walk on players. Just shows how much love he really has for Ohio state. He knows he will have to work hard and i hope he has a good career!
