Noah Spence is one of the top defensive ends in the country. On Sunday he committed to Ohio State. The 6’4″ 245 pound Spence also considered Florida, LSU, Penn State and Maryland.

Penn State head coach Tom Bradley and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer were in Hershey on Friday to see Spence play in the PIAA Class 3A championship game.

Spence recently was named Pennsylvania Gatorade Player of the Year. The last two years he had 34 1/2 sacks including 22 sacks his junior season. One of his strengths is pass rushing and is tops in PA.

His junior year he had 101 tackles (34 for a loss), nine forced fumbles and recovered three of them.

Spence finished the season with 106 tackles, 12 1/2 sacks and 27 tackles for loss.

Meyers knows how to land good defensive tackles in Pennsylvania. In 2010 he landed Sharrif Floyd out of George Washington.
