Ohio State’s dramatic victory over Wisconsin on Saturday has already paid off with a recruiting commitment.
Wide receiver Michael Thomas, rated a four-star prospect by Rivals.com, publicly committed to Ohio State on Sunday.
Thomas, who is 6-foot-3 and 203 pounds, attends Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia, but is from California. He becomes the first non-Ohioan among OSU’s 14 commitments for 2012.
“Our class is far from done,” Thomas said. “I’m going to do my best to try and bring in some more great talent.”
Thomas said he chose Ohio State over Oklahoma State, Notre Dame and Alabama.
