Before Curtis Samuel forged it, Erasmus Hall in Brooklyn, New York wasn't known for producing Buckeye football players.
Samuel, then a four-star athlete, changed that in 2014 when he pledged to Urban Meyer's third recruiting class in Ohio.
The Brooklynite chose OSU because he wanted a chance do to everything on offense. And in his three years here, he's done everything from taking snaps to emerging as the focal point of the 2016 offense.
The junior H-Back talked about his decision in a video released by Ohio State football Wednesday night.
"Freshman year, coming in early—I didn't really know much," Samuel said. I didn't say anything. I just followed the older guys, because I knew there was a bunch of great talent here, so why not learn from those guys? I always wanted to get better each week because I knew my time was coming soon, and now I have a great opportunity here."
Samuel cited Meyer's "great accomplishments" and his all-purpose role for the H-Back as key reasons he landed in Columbus.
He has 1,387 total yards of offense and 13 touchdowns on the year.
