Willie Mobley is FINALLY a Buckeye

The Eden Prairie (Eden Prairie, MN) defensive end has finally made his choice and it was no surprise. Willie Mobley, 6-2, 270 lbs, committed to Ohio St. He goes with OSU over Minnesota, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Tennessee.

It has been rumored for nearly a month since his official visit that Mobley would be a Buckeye. How is ranked:

Rivals: #9 Strongside DE
Scout: #19 DE
ESPN: #14 DE

Ohio State continues to rake in top notch talent from all over the country as they dip into Minnesota and take the second best prospect in that state (#1-Michael Floyd).

Willie Mobley is an interesting prospect. He will enter school as a defensive end but if he can add some weight to his frame he will play inside. He has good enough power and explosion at the point of attack that he can be a threat as a pass-rusher possibly even from the tackle position. Mobley has a strong motor and will be a good tackler at the next level.

When he fires off the ball low he is very difficult to stop but he needs to stay focused on keeping his pads low. If he ends up at tackle he will also need to rely more on going through blockers not around them, albeit he does have a quick swim move. He does have the ability to collapse the pocket using his strength and power.

Mobley is the 15th commit for the Bucks as Jim Tressell is putting together a top-5 class. Especially if they land Terrelle Pryor, who many people think will end up in Columbus.
