With OSU full at DE, UC should hit him hard. OSU is slow-playing him with an offer that is unlikely to come, it might be at TE. TE is a place where most good players go to die with the bucknuts. Get him into Cincy.
 
6 - Austin Traylor - Walnut Ridge - DE/OLB. What an athlete Traylor is. I have not heard anything about his grades and I think everyone wants to get him in to camp to see his body and get some times from him. His stock could go through the roof with a good athlete season.

On Wednesday Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez offered a scholarship to two more prospects from the state of Ohio, ESPNU 150 Watch List tight end Nick Vannett (Westerville, Ohio/Central) and defensive end/tight end Austin Traylor (Columbus, Ohio/Walnut Ridge).

Vannett also received offers from Penn State and North Carolina State on Monday. The 6-foot-6, 230-pounder has 30-plus scholarship offers. In addition to the three schools that offered this week, his list includes Ohio State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Oregon, Iowa, Purdue, Pitt, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, South Florida, Virginia Tech, Arizona, West Virginia, Boston College, Syracuse, Duke, Northwestern and Kentucky.

"I have a list of about 10 to 12 schools I'm really looking at. Ohio State obviously, Penn State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Pitt, South Florida, I'd say Oregon and Purdue," said Vannett. "I'm going to try to start taking some trips. I'll try to get to as many of them as I can. Hopefully by the time July rolls around I'll have my decision."

Traylor has been rising up a lot of lists lately, and now holds offers from Michigan, Arizona, Boston College, Cincinnati, Kansas, MSU, West Virginia, and Wisconsin among others. Considered an athlete, Michigan is recruiting him for defensive end/outside linebacker.

I haven't narrowed down my list yet, but I'm definitely interested in Michigan. I plan on trying to make it up there this summer. - Austin Traylor

Being from Columbus scares me, so we'll have to see how this pans out.

How many kids has Michigan offered? Seems like they have offered every kid in the country, most definitely every kid we have offered. Also seems like I read a quote from each one of these kids about how much they like Michigan. Seems kind of funny everyone thinks RichRod has one foot in the grave and one on a bananna peel.
 
Michigan and Stanford toss out offers like beads in the French Quarter...with reckless abandon and very little hope of landing much of substance.
 
What you have to remember is that Michigan now runs a spread offense and therefore will be competing with UC for the same types of offensive players. This is especially evident on the offensive line where a spread offense looks for a more lean and athletic player. Everyone recruits essentially the same type of players on defense so it is no surprise we see UM there too. The only exception is if you run a 4-3 or 3-4 and therefore you may recruit someone to play NT. Outside of that, everyone is looking for big, fast, sure tackling players who have big time motors and love to hit.
 
Everyone's a little bitter about Ed Davis committing to MSU, which is fine. This isn't one of those, "I didn't want him anyway" posts, because the coaches don't care who we want and they did want him. This is just more of a "hey we have other options, so don't worry" post.*

A recruit that hasn't been mentioned much is Austin Traylor out of Columbus, Ohio. Before you start groaning about where he's from, he doesn't have an OSU offer, and they have plenty of defensive ends.

Traylor is a 4 star on Rivals, and the 9th best weakside defensive end. He's stayed relatively quiet, and hasn't updated much about where he's at. He's always maintained that Michigan is in it for him, and he did the same when I spoke with him today.

Michigan is in it, yeah. They say they want me for defensive end, or outside linebacker. I haven't narrowed my list down yet, but I'll take all my official visits, and maybe some unofficial ones too, then make my choice.

Traylor is 6-foot-4, and only 210-pounds, which is what he told me he weighs today. Oddly enough, he's roughly the same size as Davis. A little light for a defensive end, and he actually lines up as a tight end on offense, too. It sounds like he might be better suited for outside linebacker.*

The other offers Austin holds are Arizona, Boston College, Cincinnati, MSU, NC State, West Virginia, and Wisconsin among others. Like I said, he's been quiet, but we will know more in a few days.

I'm going to sit down these next two days and figure out my list. I'll be able to tell you what it is by Saturday. I'll have everything narrowed down by then.

Considering the fact that he knows I write for a Michigan site, and he's going to tell me his list, that's usually a good sign that Michigan will be somewhere on that list. It's not a guarantee, but it's a good sign nonetheless.*

Traylor seems to be a good option at the outside linebacker spot, and don't forget about Kris Frost, who could most likely end up on defense, as well. With the commitment from MLB Kellen Jones, if we could land Traylor and Frost, we would be in pretty good shape.*
