Signing day next year could very well end up with Harding junior Rod Smith signing on the dotted line with Ohio State.
The Buckeyes have been high on Smith, who will become the city's all-time leading rusher next year, since he was a freshman.
The only reason they haven't offered Smith a scholarship is because of his academics, which caused Smith to miss a couple of basketball games last season.
But Ohio State reaffirmed its desire to have Smith part of the program in a couple of years with a recent e-mail to Harding coach Sherwood Haydock.
It was from assistant coach Dick Tressel.
Part of it read: "Coach - Our offensive staff just watched tape of one the best rbs in the nation - Rod is at the TOP!!"
Smith seems very interested in Ohio State as well and would probably commit once the scholarship offer comes.
