The momentum for Urban Meyer and Ohio State football continued Tuesday when Huber Heights Wayne class of 2015 defensive tackle Robert Landers flipped his commitment from West Virginia to Ohio State.

Scout.com lists Landers as a four-star prospect and the 29th best defensive tackle in his class. He's listed at 6'1, 285 in Scout's recruiting database.

He was dominant for a Wayne team that finished as the state runner-up in Ohio's recently concluded Div. I playoffs. Landers visited Ohio State last weekend, according to multiple reports.

Landers becomes the 24th commitment for Ohio State's 2015 class, which now ranks fourth nationally by Scout.com.

Wayne is the alma mater of Buckeyes quarterback Braxton Miller, the Big Ten Player of the Year in 2012 and 2013.
