Tommy Eichenberg Stays in Home State to Bolster Ohio State's Linebackers

The future stars of Ohio State football officially begin their college careers, as standouts from all over the country put pens to their National Letters of Intent.

For about a year, Ohio State has had interest in Tommy Eichenberg. But without a scholarship offer, he turned his focus elsewhere.

So, on June 27, he committed to Boston College. He remained a pledge to the ACC school until Nov. 19, when he opted to decommit nearly two months after his original commitment.

Ohio State and Michigan, which offered him more than a month before the Buckeyes, duked it out for weeks for the four-star inside linebacker.
