According to Bob Lichtenfels, the east coast recruiting "go-to-guy" for Scout.com, Noah Spence, the nation's top-rated defensive end has committed to Ohio State.

Spence is a 6'3, 240 pound DE from Harrisburg who was thought to be a big-time Penn State lean, but the situation in Happy Valley and the hiring of Urban Meyer changed the landscape quickly. He was visited in PA on Friday by Meyer, Luke Fickell and Mike Vrabel before his official visit in Columbus this weekend, and his commitment is made official today.
