This past weekend was quite brutal for Michigan because it once again fell short to Ohio State. It’s the eighth-straight year the Buckeyes have defeated the Wolverines.

To add insult to injury, an Ohio State commit from the 2020 recruiting class was just named Mr. Football in the state of Michigan.

Cam Martinez, a four-star athlete from Muskegon High School, was presented the award on Thursday.

Martinez had offers from Michigan and Michigan State, but he decided to commit to Ohio State.

One of the biggest issues for the Wolverines is their inability to beat the Buckeyes in the recruiting war. Even without Urban Meyer at the helm, Ohio State continues to establish its dominance.

Although Michigan has four of the top in-state recruits, Ohio State has managed to land a pair of top-15 recruits from enemy territory.

According to 247Sports’ recruiting rankings, the Buckeyes have the No. 4 class in the country. Michigan currently has the No. 13 recruiting class in college football.

Turning down the Wolverines can’t be easy for in-state recruits, but it’s also hard to walk away from an opportunity to play for the Buckeyes. Clearly, Cam Martinez couldn’t pass up the chance to play in Columbus.
