Ohio State continues to add talent to the offensive side of the football, and Cleveland St. Ignatius tight end Blake Thomas became the latest commitment to the 2012 Buckeye recruiting class.

Thomas, 6-foot-4, 240-pounds, becomes the newest offensive commit, following Jacoby Boren, Warren Ball, Brionte Dunn and Frank Epotropoulos. The lone defensive commit to date is Joshua Perry, a linebacker from Olentangy.

After receiving the offer from Ohio State last Thursday, Thomas indicated it might not be too long before he accepted the offer, and he certainly did just that in issuing his commitment within a few days.

"It's probably been the dream of every high school player in this state to play for Ohio State," he admitted. "This was the offer I wanted, and it was too good to pass up. I loved the campus and the people down at Ohio State when I visited, so I sure didn't see any reason to wait to commit."

Thomas was used primarily as a blocker as a junior at St. Ignatius, but has shown impressive pass-catching skills. Ohio State currently has two juniors at the tight end position, Jake Stoneburner and Reid Fragel, and the Buckeyes also list two freshman, Jeff Heuerman and Nick Vannett, on the roster.
