Urban Meyer is never one to mince his words. The Ohio State coach has already publicly taken shotsat his wide receivers, and it's only March.
Now a four-star recruit is claiming that Meyer and the program treated him "like crap." In an interview with SEC Country, offensive tackle Landon Young revealed his version of the interaction he had with the Buckeyes.
“I was at Ohio State having a private meeting with Urban Meyer. I had gone up to camp there, and they had treated me like a piece of meat, just treated me like crap. By that time, I was a four-star tackle. I weighed about 270 [pounds], and I was 6-7.”
Young then said he asked Meyer why he was recruiting him after Young said he sent Meyer his film but never got a reply.
He said, ‘Well, if you look back at that time, you were how big?’ I said, ‘6-7, 270, just like I am now.’ He said, ‘Well, you were an insubstantial tackle, an insubstantial player,’ so he was saying I (didn’t) even amount to being able to be recruited by Ohio State as a four-star tackle. He said, ‘Now what offers did you have?’ I said, ‘I had my one from Kentucky,’ and he said, ‘Well, you were an insubstantial player with insubstantial offers from an insubstantial school.’
Young said that Meyer's "insubstantial player" comment didn't sit well with him and didn't appreciate Meyer making disparaging remarks about the Wildcats program.
