Last Friday, Rivals released its top 60 prospects in Ohio for the class of 2013.  Normally, I wouldn’t care much about what goes on in Ohio, but several Michigan commits are on the list:

3. Mike McCray – LB – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison
4. Dymonte Thomas – S – Alliance (OH) Marlington
7. Jake Butt – TE – Pickerington (OH) North
