2014 Ohio State Football: Derek Kief Opts For Alabama Over Ohio State
On Sunday night, Urban Meyer's plans for the 2014 Ohio State Football recruiting class were partially thwarted, when Derek Kief made a verbal commitment to Nick Saban from Alabama Crimson Tide. Kief is a tall, fast, four star wide receiver out of Cincinnati. He was among the top targets for the Buckeyes.
Kief has been inundated with over 20 offers for scholarships from schools like Louisville, Arkansas, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Notre Dame. Ultimately though, it was a 3 team contest between Kentucky, Ohio State and Alabama. Alabama have won 3 out of the 4 previous national championships, and the gifted wideout simply could not resist the chance to join them.
