The Ohio State Buckeyes received a commitment from Willie Mobley, a four-star prospect at defensive tackle, from Eden Prarie, Minn. today. Here's the rundown on him from Scouts Inc.:

Biography:
Led Eden Prairie to 14-0 mark and a Class 5A title as a junior. Named All-Metro by the Minneapolis Star Tribune and First-Team All-State. Mobley had 74 tackles, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Partial senior (9-0) stats: Eden Prairie defeated Hopkins High School 56-14 in the playoffs on Oct. 27. Mobley had three tackles, one sack and one six yard rushing touchdown in that game. For the season he has 10 sacks and 21 tackles for loss.

Mobley reports a 2.7 core GPA and is retaking his ACT on Dec. 8. "I'm fine, but I just want to keep my test score confidential."

Mobley: "I feel like I'm a great athlete. I learn things quickly and am very confident. I have great strength (benches 305 pounds, squats 405) and good quickness. I run the 40 in about 4.85 seconds. I get the job done and leave it all on the field. I have heart.

"I'm improving every year and I'm working on getting even faster. Speed kills in football and my main focus is speed and agility."
