Patrick Omameh has committed to Michigan. Omameh is a late-developing sleeper sort who committed to Cincinatti over the summer, then got late offers from Michigan and Michigan State after growing significantly during his senior year. Ohio State also had some interest, but did not offer despite a flurry of speculation they had a couple of weeks ago.
He is currently in possession of three stars from both Scout and Rivals. ESPN gives him a 69 -- horrible -- and rates him the country's #113 OT. Given the late interest from major programs, that's probably outdated.
BuckeyePlanet has a helpful scouting report:
Perfect frame for adding weight. Solid center prospect but could eventually project on either side of the ball or at offensive guard. In the DeSales offense he is usually asked to crab block and then get to the second level, which is not necessarily easy to do. Because of that technique he shows good quickness and great flexibility. Not strong enough right now but can work on that during his first few years to help generate better push up front and better drive off the snap. Initial contact is decent but needs to get stronger to push people aorund. Great motor and great hustle. Along with his strength needs to work on his punch in passing situations and needs to work more from the knees rather than the waist.Omameh may be a low-rated recruit without killer offers, but the late growth spurt, impressive high school campaign, and rumors of a potential OSU offer should reassure anyone looking on this kid as pure filler. Offensive line is always the hardest position at which to project; he's got a shot.
Also, was a first team all-state pick this past season in DII.
