  Speaker 1: Buckeyes on the recruiting trail. First they landed to Maray Simeon,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a four star defensive tackle out of New Jersey, and
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: then Cameron Brickle, another defensive tackle, joined the Buckeyes cllet
• 0:34

  Speaker 1: Gerderman breaking down the commitment of Cameron Brickle.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Hello, everybody, Tony Gerderman here from the Buckeye weekly podcast
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: got another breaking news edition for you, as the Buckeyes
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: have just landed a commitment from three star defensive tackle
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Cameron Brickle. Brickle is attending IMG this year. He has
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: rated the number five hundred and thirty seven player overall
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: in the twenty four to seven Sports Composite, the number
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: sixty two defensive lineman and the number seventy six player
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: out of Florida. Originally from the Philadelphia area, where he
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: played at Malvern Prep, then transferred out to California School
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: for his sophomore year, then back to Malvern for his
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: junior year, and then off to IMG for his senior year.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: For three different places in four years, but never more
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: than never the same spot twice in a row. Could
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: have some something he was doing with his ratings frankly
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: but decent, very decent offers he was offered by Alabama
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: just friend people who are concerned about that. Took official
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: visits to Penn State, Florida State, Maryland, and Ohio State,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and today announced for the Buckeyes, giving them their second
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle in two days. In the twenty twenty six
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: recruiting class, Brickle is listened to six two, three oh
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: five and he certainly looks every bit of that. We'll
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: go ahead and throw on some junior highlights for you
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and as you we'll just talk through them. He can
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: see he's he's a big kid. There are times where
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: he looks bigger than the three oh five and times
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: where he looks a little bit smaller. But he is
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: basically the one tech that Ohio State was searching for
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: in this class, at least in theory, because as we
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: know with Larry Johnson, the guy that you think is
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: going to be the nose tackle is often the three tech,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: and the guy that you think is going to be
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the three tech is often a nose tackle. Don't have
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to go much further than Robert Landers playing nose tackle
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: for Ohio State at five eleven and two hundred eighty
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: pounds or Mike Hall playing nose tackle for Ohio State
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: at six two, two eighty five, when next to him
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you have Telly Williams at six two six three three
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: thirty playing free tech. So he does his own thing
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Larry Johnson and mixes and matches pretty well. But with
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Cam Brickle get a powerful guy. See right here, he's
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: actually playing some stand up edge in a free for
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: three free down alignment alignment. But he's powerful, and he's
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: got some quickness and he got some lateral quickness to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: deal with some misdirections and things like that. So he'll
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: retrace his steps pretty well. See him getting too the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: backfield pretty good and is like I said, he's a
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: powerful guy. And this is what Ohio State needs in
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: terms of continuing to build the defensive line up front. So,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: as I said, that's two defensive tackles in two days,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: still not done. I don't know that it's going to
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: be three and three days because Ohio State still is
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: waiting on Jimiy Perez from Glenville, which would give them
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: three defensive tackles in this class, which is what they
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: did last year too with Maxwell Roy, Tradeing Odum and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Jarck west Carter. So that'll be six and two years
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and we'll see how that works out for the Buckeyes
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: as they try to find some guys that are not
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: just roster occupiers but playmakers and disruptors and difference makers.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: And they certainly like what they have with Canon Brickle.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: As I said, he's he is not just a run
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: run plugger. He's not just a block, you know, blocker,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: occupies the offensive lineman. He is trying to disrupt, he's
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: trying to create havoc in there, and he does a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: pretty good job. Even when he's being double teamed, he's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: still looking for the ball and he's still making making
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: work difficult for the offensive lineman. He's looking to get
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: his hands up on a pass, whatever it takes. So
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: he's alert and he's active, and he's big and strong
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and so very much everything that you would like from
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: your defensive tackles. And we'll see what he does in
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: IMG this year, because that's that's a pretty good step
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: up and not that you know, numbers are never going
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to be generally, never great at IMG in terms of
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: your stats, because you're rotating a lot, you're playing with
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of different guys, and you're playing some really
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: good competitions. So it's gonna be a unique environment for him.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: We'll see how he does there, see how he uh,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you know, how that prepares him for Ohio State. I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: think IMG does a good job of that. Where you're
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: it's it's basically college lights when you're there, so when
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: you do get to college, it's not as unfamiliar for you,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and he he'll have that experience of playing with guys
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that are gonna be playing in college, playing against guys
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: that are going to be playing in college. So the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: next level for him won't be as as steep as
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a as big of a jump. And so what does
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that mean for next year? Again, Ohio State's can have
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a number of defensive tackles, and I apologize for already
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: including Jamiir Perez in this class, we'll see, like that's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the assumption. And so if you've got six in a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: two year span, you know, is Cad McDonald back next year?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Ohio State certainly hope so. But he's going to be
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: draft eligible and if he has a good year, that
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: could be all all it takes. And we know the
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: guys behind Caate McDonald and Edric Houston on this year's
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: team still waiting to produce and become reliable options for
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the Buckeyes and frankly, they need that to happen this year.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Whether you know we're talking Jason Moore, Will Smith, Eric Mensa,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: there's a number of guys that you're just you're waiting for,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: you would like to see more from. And can they
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: keep the twenty twenty six class from being needed as
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: much because there's just it's you got, you got a
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: couple of guys at top, and then a lot of unknowns,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and frankly everybody's unknown right now, but next year more
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: people will be known. And then what what do you
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: need from the twenty twenty five class. What do you
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: need from the twenty twenty sixth class. He's probably gonna
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: need something and you'd rather get it from the twenty
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: twenty sixth class or the twenty twenty five class. You're
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: trading note of you're Maxwell roy or dark West Carter
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: then relying on freshmen, and they're in the same boat
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: this year. They don't necessarily want to rely on freshmen,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: but they also know that whoever, somebody's going to step
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: up and other guys are going to get the option
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and they can't just you know, it's not just going
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to be a situation where they're playing the oldest guys.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: They're gonna be playing the best guys because the defensive
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: line like that, he can't mess around. You've got to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: get some playing, you've got to get some productivity, you've
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: got to get some disruptions. So so there you go.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Newest Ohio State commit Cam Brickle from the upcoming IMG
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Academy three star guy. We'll see if his ratings go up,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: but once he's committed, there's probably no point in and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: trying to pump that up. So he will be at
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Ohio State when he gets there. I you know, again,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: as I said yesterday, generally all of these guys are
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: if they can, they're enrolling early, and I would expect
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: cam Brickle to do the same. Though I have not
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: been there, has not been confirm. So there you go.
• 8:01
