Ohio tight end holds early offers
Rivals.com
The class of 2019 in Ohio will truly begin to take shape this fall as junior seasons play out, but Fairfield (Ohio) product Erick All is already seeing plenty of college interest. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound prospect is transitioning from an outside wide receiver role to more of a tight end/H-Back role for Fairfield this fall.
The rising junior has picked up a pair of early offers.
"Cincinnati and Kentucky have offered," said All. "Cincinnati, I love them. I like their coaches and their facilities. It's the hometown school. UK, I don't really know much about them yet. I was at their stadium for a 7-on-7 and that is how I got the offer. They must be doing something right because a lot of guys are committing there."
Three Big Ten programs are also recruiting All who looks like a flex tight end at the next level.
"I've talked to Ohio State," he explained. "Purdue and Northwestern have been sending a lot of mail."
All visited Ohio State in June for a one-day camp and was able to work out in front of the offensive staff. He spoke with three Ohio State coaches, including head coach Urban Meyer who was blunt as always.
"I talked to coach Stud, coach Wilson, and coach Urban Meyer," he recalled. "Coach Urban Meyer said I did an 8 out of 10."
The transition from wide receiver to tight end has been an interesting one for All. There are a lot of new things to learn, but his athleticism still allows him to stretch the field vertically, just from a different spot on the field. He hauled in a long touchdown catch in Saturday's scrimmage.
"I've definitely put on weight and gotten stronger," said All of his off-season transformation. "It's different (adjusting to tight end) working on the inside and adjusting to different routes and blocking schemes."
All will make some game visits this season but has not set anything at this point.
