The Hurry Up is your nightly dose of updates from the Ohio State football recruiting trail, keeping tabs on the latest from commits and targets from around the country.
AN "AMAZING" VISIT
Portsmouth (Ohio) High School finished 7-4 this season and made a playoff appearance in Division V before a loss to Middletown Madison. Much of the reason for the Trojans' success was undoubtedly junior running back Talyn Parker.
Parker was a first-team All-Ohio selection after rushing for 2,530 yards and 29 touchdowns. He also made 60 tackles on the defensive side and set his school's single-game rushing record with 381 yards. Saturday, he made his second visit to Ohio State.

"The atmosphere was amazing. I loved it. It was so cool to be there in person," Parker said. "It was all-around amazing to be around such a great fan base. That's what I love about Ohio State. I definitely plan on going for a third visit."
Parker's speed is the main characteristic that led to him the season he had. But his vision, ability to break tackles and elusiveness in the open field also didn't hurt.
On Oct. 6, the 5-foot-11, 188-pound back made his first visit to Ohio Stadium for the Indiana game. After that visit, he told Eleven Warriors "I've grown up an Ohio State fan, ever since I was little. I love the campus also. It's beautiful and big. I've noticed the fans and how into the sports they are. I really love it."
Parker continues to stay in contact with the Buckeyes' coaching staff, specifically assistant athletic director Mark Pantoni and program assistant Ed Terwilliger.
