Ohio State LB recruit Ejuan Price reportedly won't be a Buckeye

Ohio State's incoming freshmen are supposed to report to Columbus this weekend.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State's incoming football freshmen are supposed to report to campus by Sunday night, and it appears that the Buckeyes will be down at least one player from the class they signed in February.

Pittsburgh-area linebacker Ejuan Price wants out of his OSU commitment, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Tuesday. He is reportedly waiting for Ohio State to release him from his National Letter of Intent.

A three-star prospect, according to Rivals.com, Price had appeared to waver on Ohio State at other times during the recruiting process. Given Jim Tressel's resignation and the NCAA sanctions the program will be facing, it can't be a shock that Ohio State faces losing a recruit this way.

Ohio State signed 24 players in this class. Seven of them - quarterback Braxton Miller, linebacker Ryan Shazier, offensive lineman Tommy Brown, defensive back Jeremy Cash, defensive lineman Joel Hale, tight end Jeff Heuerman and defensive back Ron Tanner - are already enrolled at Ohio State and took part in spring practice. Another, Glenville quarterback Cardale Jones, signed with Ohio State but will attend prep school this fall, as planned.

That leaves 16 other incoming freshmen that Ohio State will be expecting this weekend, including Cleveland-area recruits like Elyria's Chase Farris, St. Vincent-St. Mary's Doran Grant and Shaker Heights' Tony Underwood. They all previously reaffirmed their choice of Ohio State.

Ohio State has nine players orally committed for the Class of 2012, including two players added since Luke Fickell was named the interim head coach after Tressel's departure. But the first order of business is getting the 2011 recruits to Columbus.
