Ohio State Recruiting: Prep Report
By Tony Gerdeman

It was another hard-fought week on the gridiron for the future Buckeyes, as there was a healthy mix of blowouts and close decisions among the 2013 commitments.

And yes, Ezekiel Elliott continued his rampage against Missouri high school defenses. Somebody in that state needs to build a better mouse trap.

Tyquan Lewis (DE/OLB), Tarboro, NC Tarboro HS
Lewis tweeted that he had two sacks in his team's 47-16 win over Greene Central to move Tarboro to a perfect 6-0 on the season.

Tim Gardner (OL), Indianapolis, IN Lawrence Central HS
Gardner helped his Lawrence Central team move to 7-0 with a dominating 47-6 win over Southport.

Taivon Jacobs (WR), District Heights, MD Suitland HS
The big plays continued for Jacobs, who led Suitland to a 26-14 win over C.H. Flowers. Jacobs finished with 142 yards receiving, scoring twice. The first came on a 44-yard catch and run on a crossing route and the second happened when he caught a 70-yard touchdown pass on a streak down the sideline. He also added a 42-yard punt return to set up his team's first scoring drive. Suitland improved to 5-0 on the season.

Michael Hill (DT), Pendleton, SC Pendleton HS
A 20-10 loss to Crescent moved Pendleton to 3-3 on the season.

Joey Bosa (DL), Fort Lauderdale, FL St. Thomas Aquinas
St. Thomas Aquinas moved to 3-1 with a 65-20 blowout victory over Hollywood McArthur.

J.T. Barrett (QB), Wichita Falls, TX Rider HS
Barrett had a very good night in leading Rider to a 50-14 win over Byron Nelson (the high school, not the golfer who lived from 1912 to 2006). Barrett threw for 162 yards with a touchdown and also rushed for 130 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The win improved Rider to 3-1.

Tracy Sprinkle (DL), Elyria, OH Elyria HS

Ezekiel Elliott (RB), St. Louis, MO, John Burroughs HS
Elliott scored on a 65-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage in John Burroughs' 33-7 win over Westminster Christian. He finished with 20 carries for 238 yards and two touchdowns. He also had a touchdown taken off of the board when a teammate was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Eli Woodard (CB), Voorhees, NJ, Eastern HS
Woodard did a little bit of everything in leading his Eastern team to a 28-21 double-overtime win against Rancocas Valley, including blocking a field goal and catching a 71-yard touchdown pass. Along with his typically solid defensive effort, he added over 100 receiving yards on the day.

Billy Price (DL/OL), Youngstown, OH, Austintown Fitch
