Meyer landed five-star safety Vonn Bell from Rossville, Ga., the nation's third-ranked safety and the 29th overall recruit according to 247Sports.com. He was considering offers from Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and Auburn but chose to head to Columbus.

The Buckeyes also signed Plano, Tx. linebacker Mike Mitchell.
