FLIPPING HIS CHOICE?
The last time Cleveland St. Ignatius linebacker Tommy Eichenberg visited Ohio State was back in April for the Buckeyes' spring game. He's since committed to Boston College, a decision he made this past June, with offers from Duke, Iowa and Kentucky on the table.

But Wednesday's offer could change his entire decision.

The three-star recruit, listed at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, announced on Twitter that he had received an offer from Ohio State. If nothing else, the offer shows that the Buckeyes still think they have a shot at who's considered to be the states' 14th-best all-around prospect at any position.

It's also noteworthy to mention the fact that after the Buckeyes offered, crystal ball predictions went from 100 percent in Boston College's favor to a 53 percent chance Eichenberg chooses to flip his decision and become a Buckeye.

And if Eichenberg receives an offer from Notre Dame, where his older brother Liam attends, things could get even more interesting. Eichenberg made a visit to the Irish this past April.

Upon Eichenberg's commitment to Boston College, St. Ignatius defensive coordinator Ryan Franzinger talked to Joe Ginley of ignatiuswildcats.com about Eichenberg.

"I don't think there's a part of his game that's really lacking. He has a great toughness," Franzinger said. "He plays equally well in the box as outside in pass coverage. His height helps him in pass coverage, which you saw in a few games. He's equally talented versus the run and pass."

Maybe one day, Eichenberg will be playing for Ohio State linebackers coach Bill Davis. As of now, that prophecy is looking more and more probable.
