Ohio State got great news when super linebacker Jamel Turner made his commitment to the Buckeyes. Turner became the second member of Ohio State’s class of 2010 when he pledged his services to the Scarlet and Gray.  Turner is considered the best prospect in the state for his class, and has the potential to be an impact player at the college level. In the end, it wasn't really even a tough decision for Turner.

Turner, who made 23 sacks as a sophomore, visited Ohio State to see the Buckeyes battle then-No. 3 Penn State on Oct. 25. He was named to Scout’s All-Ohio Championship team for this year’s state championships as Ursuline won the state title. Turner had 10 tackles and 1.5 sacks in the game against Findlay Liberty-Benton.

He chose OSU over Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Stanford, South Carolina and Wisconsin.
