Williamson headed to IMG
Just a few days after Isaiah Pryor announced his intentions to transfer to IMG Academy in Florida, future teammate Marcus Williamson makes it known that he'll be doing the same.
IMG Academy in Bradenton (Fla.) has emerged as the top prep school in the nation for high school football prospects. Ohio State has been as active at the school as any college program, having two IMG products in its 2016 class in offensive lineman Tyler Gerald and defensive tackle Malik Barrow.
The 2017 crop at IMG will have plenty of Ohio State flavor as well with Westerville (Ohio) South defensive back and Buckeye pledge Marcus Williamson announcing his intention to transfer to IMG on Monday evening.
Williamson will join fellow class of 2017 commit Isaiah Pryor in transferring to IMG for his senior season. Ultimately for Williamson, it came down to wanting to best prepare himself for life at Ohio State by practicing and playing against some of the nation's best players.
"The decision was made solely for college prep," Williamson told BuckeyeGrove.com. "I want to get used to that kind of lifestyle. And of course it's a unique opportunity to play a national schedule."
Williamson will leave for Florida on Friday and will join Pryor and several other Ohio State recruiting targets on the IMG campus.
