Mike McCray is the #3 player in Ohio, according to Rivals

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
11. Taco Charlton – DE – Pickerington (OH) Central

24. DeVeon Smith – RB – Warren (OH) Howland
27. Jaron Dukes – WR – Columbus (OH) Marion Franklin
39. Gareon Conley – CB – Massillon (OH) Washington

By comparison, Ohio State has #1, #2, #5, #9, #12, and #36.
