'12 OH DE Chris Wormley (Michigan Verbal)

Defensive End
Toledo, OH (Whitmer)

Ht: 6'4"
Wt: 225

Offered by UC

I said I only hope to see another pair of defensive ends in Ohio like Hayes and Miller. We are looking at that happening in the class of 2012 with Greg McMullen from Akron Hoban and Chris Wormley, a teammate of Kenny Hayes. The only reason they will not be great ends is because they are young and could be great tackles. Both have good size.

Indiana has also offered.

Interest from Michigan, MSU, OSU, Toledo, Wisconsin, and Miami (OH).

Performed well at the Nike Camp at OSU this weekend.

DE CHRIS WORMLEY, 6-4/225, TOLEDO (OHIO) WHITMER
Wormley highlights vs. Canton McKinley
2012 CLASS
CONSIDERING: Too early to call. His teammate and fellow defensive end, Kenny Hayes, is an Ohio State commit.
PERFORMANCE: Recorded three tackles in a loss to Canton McKinley.
STRENGTHS: What is going on in Ohio with defensive ends in the class of 2012? Wormley is another future stud. He is very strong in the lower body, and at a young age, appears to play with good leverage. He is every bit of 6-4 and seems to be pretty fluid athletically as well. Wormley looks like he will be another national recruit.
WEAKNESSES: Plenty of room to fill out his upper body. But you like to see a young prospect that has his leg power and ability to play with some leverage.

Grew up a Michigan fan, and also has interest in OSU.

Nike Combine Overview from Columbus, OH

But while Lewis and Washington turned heads, it was Chris Wormley of Toledo (Ohio) Whitmer who may be the more advanced of the three. Wormley has a thick frame and while he’s listed as a defensive end he could also see his hand moved to the ground as a defensive tackle.

Look for all three of the 2012 class to have early college offers as they continue to open eyes in the recruiting world

Been a UM fan for a long time, and UC's going to have a hard time battling the Wolverines and even OSU.

Wormley is a prospect for the 2012 class, but is already being talked about as one of the best players in Ohio. His size is an instant standout, since he's only a sophomore. I asked Chris about his feelings towards Michigan, and here's his response.

"Michigan is my favorite right now, definitely. There are some other schools like Ohio State and Cincinnati that have been staying in touch. I'd like to hear more from Michigan soon. I think I'll probably end up at Michigan, but those other schools could make a push."

Illinois & Michigan State offered recently.

The Wolverines also lead for OH DE Chris Wormley. Wormley should be a top-5 player in Ohio next year.

TOLEDO, Ohio - Whitmer's Kenny Hayes is already an Ohio State football commit. He could be joined by teammate and fellow defensive end Chris Wormley.

Hayes, entering his senior season, just came back from a Buckeye football camp. Meanwhile, Wormley will only be a junior this year and is still growing in his current 6-5, 255 lb. frame.

Ohio State has invited Wormley to its football camp taking place on June 26. The defensive end already has offers from such schools as Michigan State and Toledo. He told Hardcore Sports he is thrilled to have been invited by the Buckeyes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wormley is one of the top ranked prospects in Ohio for 2012 and is also one of the main targets for the Michigan staff. He's been on campus before, but this was his first chance to see the new coaches in action.

My mom and dad were up there with me. We watched practice first, went to lunch, and then they took us on a tour of the locker room and everything. I noticed in practice that the coaches are real patient and there's not a lot of yelling. It definitely helped me get a better understanding of how they coach and how they work. This visit definitely helped Michigan.

Chris also got a chance to get some one on one time with Coach Montgomery and Mattison.

We were just talking about general stuff, just chit chat. They talked about the defense and that I would most likely be playing what they call the rusher position on the outside.

While Chris has been on campus before, this visit gave him a little bit of a better understanding for the program in general. He talked about the academics and when he wants to make his decision.

I think what stood out to me the most was how seriously they take the academics up there. The academics are first and football's second; I like that. My parents were having some good conversations too, so it was good. I either want to make my decision before the season starts or after. It will be too big of a distraction during the season. If I'm not 100% comfortable then I'll do it after the season.

Michigan has been high on Wormley's list for some time and the new coaching staff has made a definite impression on him and his family. It's a race now between Michigan and Ohio State for Wormley.
