Every weekend in the fall, thousands of high school football times line up and take their shot at prep glory. The Sunday morning Prep Tracker is your final stop for the names, numbers and scores that mattered to Ohio State's recruiting efforts.
JOE BURROW INJURY UPDATE
Class of 2015 Buckeye quarterback commit Joe Burrow sustained a knee injury in the second quarter of his game against Wellston. Some people said it was just tendinitis and that he was going to be alright. Burrow was not needed much in his game against Wellston as Athens won 82-7. Burrow was still able to throw for two scores on just 5 completions.
Burrow has been having a fantastic season for Athens. He has thrown for more than 30 touchdowns to only one interception. Burrow is becoming one of the best players in all of Ohio with his performances on the field. Let's hope he makes a speedy recovery and the injury is not serious. When more information becomes available, we will update the status.
BIG GAME FOR HINES
Class of 2015 running back Nyheim Hines is easily one of the best players in the nation. This Friday night, he had another big performance. He tallied five touchdowns and scored another on a receiving touchdown. Oh, and he had 211 yards rushing on just 16 carries.
Hines is becoming one of the nation's best players. Ohio State is still recruiting Hines, especially now if they are feeling less likely about Harris. Hines wants to play the H-back role in college, a perfect fit for his skills set. He is hoping to visit this fall for a game and for an official visit. If he visits, Ohio State could be the favorite for him.
GEORGE HILL LIGHTS IT UP
Another game and another master piece for Buckeye commit George Hill. The 2016 commit from Hubbard high school in Ohio had another outstanding game for Hubbard as he rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns. Hill is having a great season while sharing the backfield with another 2015 star, Larry Scott.
Buckeye fans should be excited about Hill in the backfield for 2016. If they can add a big 2015 RB recruit for 2015 to go along with Hill in 2016, the running back position should be set more than it already is. Hill is having a superb season and is only getting better.
