    Elsewhere, Oak Park (Mich.) quarterback Dwan Mathis was the exception of the group. Mathis had an uncharacteristic night in a 27-21 loss, according to the Detroit Free Press.

    The Ohio State bound quarterback didn’t play well against the Lakers. He made some bad reads on running plays, underthrew receivers and lost his cool a couple of times.

    The Knights have a tough game at Clarkston next week and with their goal of finishing the regular season undefeated, Mathis and head coach Greg Carter must get the entire team to refocus.

    Dwan Mathis ready for his turn at Ohio State
    As quarterback Dwayne Haskins continues to set new school quarterback records, Ohio State should feel more and more certain that he will become a one-and-done starter in Columbus.

    That means the Buckeyes will likely be relying on Tate Martell, Matthew Baldwin and commit Dwan Mathis to replace Haskins next season. For the 6-foot-4, 200-pound Mathis to make an impact on the Ohio State depth chart next season, he’ll need to get started early for the Buckeyes — and that’s what he intends to do.

    “I’m getting everything lined up now [to enroll early],” Mathis told Lettermen Row. “I have to finish two more online classes and then I’ll be cleared. I am trying to come in there and grind.”

    That’s good news for Ohio State and for Mathis. The benefits of enrolling early, for those who are capable of doing it, are obvious. It’s six more months of a college weight program, six more months of learning an offense and six more months of gaining insight into how to better manage time, expectations and other realities of college football.

    For a quarterback, especially one that could walk into a program without an established starter, it’s the part about learning an offense that is most related to potential playing time. Ohio State runs a similar offense to the one Mathis has worked in at Oak Park (Mich.), so he’s comfortable with the basics of it. He’s seen the Buckeyes offense evolve over the last few months, a change that he’s excited about and one that he was promised would happen. It’s also a change that a lot of detractors told Mathis wouldn’t happen.

    “It just proves that [quarterbacks coach Ryan] Day is a man of his word,” Mathis said. “There really was never any doubt in my mind he wouldn’t be. That just confirmed what he was saying was true.

    “They’re doing a lot more passing and letting the quarterback make decisions on his own, taking more downfield shots, really.”

    Before he steps on campus as a full-fledged signee, Mathis will be back at Ohio State on Nov. 24 for the game against Michigan. He plans on having a handful of his Oak Park teammates, like Maliq Carr, Enzo Jennings and maybe Justin Rogers — all three 2020 prospects have an Ohio State offer — with him.

    CATCHING UP WITH DWAN MATHIS
    With Ohio State target and teammate Maliq Carr by his side, 2019 quarterback commit Dwan Mathis also made a visit Saturday.

    Mathis, who pledged to Urban Meyer and company on June 24, is a four-star prospect out of Oak Park (Mich.) that's ranked as Michigan's seventh-best overall prospect in his class.

    "It was amazing. That’s the loudest I’ve ever heard the crowd," Mathis said of Saturday's atmosphere. "I enjoyed talking to [2019 Ohio State commit] Lejond [Cavazos] and a couple of my other teammates."

    Mathis said that even though he didn't have the chance to speak to many of the recruits in attendance, he did hear that "a couple we're going to commit."

    As for Carr, a three-star receiver in the class of 2020, Mathis said the two are like brothers and that Carr "just makes plays when needed." Mathis would know. He's Carr's quarterback. Could that close relationship between the two mean Carr is also headed to Columbus? Time will tell.

    Looks like we should watch this one...……….he may not sign early and Georgia reached out to him last night...……..

    He may be wavering on his commitment....

    Don't you just love recruiting?

    Nope. This was a great recruiting sell by Kirby and his staff. I imagine it went something like this, “they are trying to get one of our players, so do they really value you? We will take you.”

    Thing is, Mathis was never going to start year one. Doubtful if he even started year two. He’s a project. Great potential guy but a low floor. Fields would probably be gone by the time he’s ready.

    What year is Fields/how many years if eligibility?

    Depending on that I'm not real upset about it.... unless Martell leaves too... then that'd be no bueno.
