After a few near misses with a couple of other prospects Ohio State received a verbal pledge from Illinois quarterback Taylor Graham.  Graham's father Kent is a former Buckeye.  Taylor chose the Buckeyes over offers from UCLA, Michigan State, Colorado, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Duke, and Iowa.  The Buckeyes got into the process somewhat late with Graham as it was no secret the intial targets for the Buckeyes were quarterbacks Nick Montana and Andrew Hendrix but as soon as the Buckeyes offered it seemed Graham was a lock for the Buckeyes.  Graham described getting an offer from the Buckeyes as a "dream" so it was only a matter of time for him to commit.  Graham is not as well known a commodity with the various recruiting services as a Nick Montana or an Andrew Hendrix but Graham has put himself on the radar with strong performances at various camps around the nation.  He recently got an offer from the likes of UCLA after attending a football camp out there and in large part his good performance at the recent Ohio State advanced camp earned him his Ohio State offer.  After looking at limited film Graham seems to have a good over the top motion and after a little work on his footwork he will be an excellent prospect for the Buckeyes.  He puts good touch on the ball and throws the ball well when on the move.  Graham will prove to be a good pickup for the Buckeyes and provide much needed depth at the quarterback position in 2010.
