Citing the experience as a "dream come true" via his Twitter account, four-star high school prospect Sam Hubbard gave a verbal commitment to join the Ohio State Football team in the fall season of 2014.  The six and a half foot tall safety decided that he would de-commit from an offer to join Notre Dame's lacrosse team and enter into the Ohio State athletic program.  A native of Cincinnati, the safety had an outstanding high school career.  In his junior year, he accounted for eighty tackles in addition to two interceptions and two forced fumbles.  Other teams hoping to land Sam Hubbard for their own football programs included Michigan, Louisville, Standford, and the University of Miami.
