The nation's No. 1 long-snapper, Bryce Haynes, has given a commitment to Ohio State after narrowing his decision to North Carolina, Notre Dame, Harvard and OSU.  Haynes is 6'4", 185 and attended Pinecrest Academy in Cumming, GA..

And that one blocked "most important play in football" that almost cost Tressel the Sugar Bowl had nothing to do with it. The Buckeyes offered Haynes back in December.  Jake McQuaide, a three year starter at long-snapper for the Buckeyes, was a senior in 2010. 

Incidentally, there was nothing wrong with McQuaide's snap in the Sugar Bowl. In fact, if Haynes proves as reliable as McQuaide was, it will be a scholarship well spent .

Yes, there's even recruiting video of long-snappers...at 11W
