2. Jordan Fuller, 4-star ATH

Jordan Fuller is definitely a guy who Urban Meyer wants to add to the 2016 class. If he’s not the top remaining target, he’s definitely No. 2, and there’s no doubting as to why that is. Fuller is an incredible athlete who played some quarterback, as a dual-threat, and defensive back at the high school level, excelling at both.

Meyer loves guys who can play both sides of the ball, but Fuller will likely be recruited as a cornerback for the Buckeyes. Ohio State currently has three cornerbacks committed, but none are near the level of Fuller, who could be an absolute game-changer the second he steps onto campus as a true freshman.

With Eli Apple going pro, the Buckeyes have some big shoes to fill at the position and even though Damon Webb is the lead candidate to replace the star corner, Fuller would give him a run for his money in the fall.

Right now, it seems to be a battle between Ohio State, Notre Dame and Michigan for the four-star athlete from New Jersey.
