Michigan went into Ohio State territory and plucked some of it's top talent away from them last year and this year also. Now The Buckeyes have responded and have done the same to the Wolverines for next year. Cass Tech junior DB Damon Webb is one of the most sought after prospects in the Midwest and in the entire country. Rivals.com has him ranked as the #32 prospect overall,and the second best player in the state of Michigan.

At 6'0,175 pounds,Webb is a projected cornerback at the next level,but also plays wideout for his high school team. He transfered into Cass Tech from UofD Jesuit as a sophomore,and helped the Technicians win a second straight Division 1 state title this past season. Webb committed to coach Urban Meyer and the Ohio State Buckeyes ironically after their win in basketball over Michigan January 13th. He held offers from the likes of Michigan,Michigan State,Wisconsin,Mississippi State,and LSU.

Webb says he isn't taking any more visits to schools,and is solid on his commitment,but you can bet schools will still be trying to flip him to their program. Webb talked to me about OSU and,why he chose them over UofM.
