Chase received a visit today (probably from Warriner) and said that he plans on attending ND's one day camp on June 29. He also said he was told he would get an offer if he goes to the camp, but I would guess that what he was actually told is that if the staff liked how he performs at the camp he would get an offer. In any case Chase is now up to 14 offers.
ND is recruiting Chase as an OT, not a DE. His older brother Chad was also recruited by the Irish 3 years ago as an OT and he is currently listed as the backup LOG on the UCF depth chart.

Lake Catholic offensive tackle Chase Hounshell has been nominated to play in the 2011 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Hounshell — an All-Ohioan and all-News-Herald selection — is one of 400 of the nation’s top seniors who have been nominated to play in the game on Jan. 8, 2011 at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Only 90 will be selected to play in the annual East vs. West classic, which will be televised at 1 p.m. on WKYC.
Hounshell was nominated by the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Committee, which consists of All American Games’ network of regional directors throughout the country, Rivals.com and Tom Lemming.
The 6-foot-5, 265-pound senior had 31 pancake blocks last year as part of a talented offensive line that helped lead the Cougars’ charge to the Division II state semifinals.

Chase has added offers from MSU and Wisconsin recently. He says MSU stands out right now. He will attend one day camps this summer at ND, pOSU and Cincinnati. He will also unofficially visit MSU and Wisconsin during the summer.

At this point, look for MSU to loom large, as well as WV, ND, and Vandy, possibly OSU.
ND and OSU have yet to offer and probably won't, given the commits on board already. Not sure why he's camping there, aside from more publicity or a backup plan in case one of the OSU commits backs out?? ND could offer with a good showing at their camp, and I don't see UC in the picture at all.

Mark Dantonio is well respected around college football for being what Jim Tressel called, “One of the best talent evaluators I have ever been around.” So when he makes an offer to a young man, people across the game pay attention.
Wednesday Spartan Nation stopped in Mentor, Ohio to talk to Lake Catholic OL/DL Chase Hounshell. This impressive young man is the real deal, with a monster upside that could see him land on either side of the ball.
With an offer list nearing twenty and almost half of the Big Ten, this big 6’5” 260# OL/DL has a high motor and a passion for the game. He has an offer from the Spartans in hand, and with Defensive Coordinator Pat Narduzzi as his primary recruiter, he is feeling the Spartan love. “Coach Dantonio called me last night and he told me that I can play offense or defense… it is whatever I want. I love the facilities, all of the coaches, and Michigan State is just an amazing place.“
“They offered me first as an offensive lineman, but then when they watched my defensive video they said it was up to me. Coach Dantonio said I can play either side, whatever I want. I would need to gain a lot of weight to play offensive tackle, so I would say starting out I would be a defensive end. If I gained a little more weight then move inside to defensive tackle. If I really bulked up, I could go to offensive line.”
Hounshell isn’t a finished product and that has college scouts drooling. With tremendous vision and lateral movement, he has all of the tools to be dominant, and the upside that forecasts he could he great. He has to work on his hands for both sides of the ball and getting off of blockers on defense, but this youngster can do it.
Perhaps even more impressive than his size is his strength. He is a machine in the weight room, “I do love it. I lift twice a day. It is so much fun.”
His coach at Lake Catholic is Mike Bell. Bell is a well-respected teacher of the game who describes his young stars work ethic as, “ready and willing… he is eager, he wants to learn, he wants to practice and get better.”
Bell described Hounshell’s upside as, “He started on the offensive line as a sophomore. We didn’t think that young, we should push him to play both sides. Last year we did. He has a lot more reps on the offense and he has a lot more that he can get a lot better at, and he is already a very good athlete.”
So where do the Spartans stand at this moment? Hounshell said, “They are at the very top of my list. I love everything about Michigan State. I love how they recruited me as more than a football player. I just can’t think of anything they do or have done that I don’t love. Michigan State doesn’t recruit football players, they recruit the person and the family, I just can’t say how different that is from other schools and how impressed I am with the entire program and school.”
With so many offers from several great schools, Hounshell has to feel like it is Christmas. So when does he expect to make his choice? “I will wait until next season after I make visits.”

Two-way lineman Chase Hounshell (Mentor, Ohio/Lake Catholic) continues to see his impressive list of scholarship offers grow. But Hounshell has narrowed his choices down to a half dozen or so schools and is busily visiting those schools.
"I have 23 offers now," Hounshell said. "I've narrowed it down to maybe a top six or seven."
His list is made up of Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Illinois, Boston College and West Virginia. All but the Fighting Irish have offered, which could change shortly.

Chase spurned the Gators, and decided on ND almost out of the blue.
