Taylor Graham fulfilled a dream. The Wheaton North (Ill.) quarterback committed to Ohio State, after recently scoring an offer from the Buckeyes.  It was a fairly easy decision.

The Wheaton North (Ill.) quarterback made the big decision to head to Columbus over offers from Michigan State, UCLA, Arkansas and others.

"Well, I've always loved Ohio State," he explained, "It has always been a dream of mine. I grew up there. I was born there. I've been an Ohio boy my entire life."

With that the Buckeyes have their quarterback in this class and that opportunity played a part in Graham's decision.

"They have some quarterbacks there now, but I think I could fit in there. It is a great situation, I'm just real excited right now."

What also stood out to Graham was the offensive system they run in Columbus, which he discussed with the Buckeye coaches.

"They just think I would be a good fit with what they're doing. Lots of people think they're running spread option stuff, but they run pro style things too. Sometimes they are under center and that's one of the reasons I chose it. They're committed to a pro style system. Coach Tressel said that was one of the reasons Terrelle went there was that he wanted to learn a pro style system and I want to continue that."
