April showers of riches continue, as Ohio State picks up it’s second verbal commitment of the month and seventh overall this evening, with Toledo Central Catholic’s Jayme Thompson switching his commitment to the Buckeyes.

Thompson, who had initially given a verbal commitment to the Mountaineers of West Virginia, reopened his recruitment in March and was part of the recruiting festivities in Columbus this past weekend.

He was an early member of the WVU class, verballing the day after National Letter Of Intent Day to the staff in Morgantown.

A 6’2″ defensive back with a 32 inch vertical, Thompson is expected to be asked to play safety at Ohio State. He’s currently a three star recruit according to Scout and a four star according to Rivals.

Many observers believe that will increase over the coming season, but early commitments aren’t always conducive to increased recruiting rankings. He currently held offers from Nebraska, Illinois, Notre Dame, and Scout had him with offers from Michigan and Missouri as well.

Film, as always, after the jump.

Welcome (back) home, Jayme and to the Buckeye Family- looking forward to your career in Columbus!
