Naples Barron Collier Tight End Jeff Heuerman has been collecting offers on a weekly basis since the beginning of the year. The 6'5, 230 pound athlete has had a busy couple of months, he competed in various 7on7 camps and visited a number of schools unofficially including LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Miami, Notre Dame, Michigan, and Ohio State.

Last weekend he was one of five Florida visitors at the Ohio State Spring game and left Columbus with a pretty good idea where he was heading. After a few days back in Southwest Florida, he knew what he wanted to do, “I committed to Ohio State, I just spoke with Coach Tressel, just about all the coaches, I'm a Buckeye” said Heuerman. “I just really felt at home with the coaches, the team, the players, it is a perfect fit for me.”

Heuerman had previously shown strong interest in LSU, Tennessee, and Notre Dame at various times, what separated OSU from the pack? “I really liked all those places, they are great programs and universities, I just fell in love with Ohio State and the city of Columbus.”

An interesting dynamic to this decision is that Jeff's father, Paul, played Center in basketball at Michigan of all places, and Jeff had strong interest in the Wolverines, “I'm pretty sure my father will be on my side now, at least I would hope so. I think my skill set is better suited at Ohio State than at Michigan, it was something I have thought a lot about, the way I can see myself being used and contributing, I think that style of offense is Ohio State.”
