IU Football Lands Stud Ohio DE

'Brotherly Love' left Philadelphia and made its way to Bloomington, Indiana. For a one day, anyway.

The Indiana football program received good news Monday morning as 6-2, 253 pound Jibreel Black committed to Bill Lynch and staff, just days after visiting Bloomington for IU's summer football camp. Peegs.com columnist Matt Weaver broke the news of the commitment Monday afternoon.

Black, who is a three-star prospect and the 23rd ranked defensive end in the country, according to Rivals.com, picked Indiana over offers from in-state powerhouses Michigan and Michigan State, as well as Kentucky and Cincinnati. Scout.com gives Black a four-star rating, noting explosiveness off the line and intensity as his strengths.

Black is the seventh committment for the Hoosiers in the 2010 class, and the sixth pledge in the last 12 days. Though early in the recruiting season, the Cincinnati Wyoming standout could eventually become the best prospect in Indiana's 2010 class.

Black said he liked Indiana's coaching staff, most notably defensive end's coach George Ricumstrict, and a certain player on the team, defensive tackle and big brother, Larry Black Jr. Jibreel said he wanted to play college football with Larry, and now, he will get his chance.

The Blacks will join Adrian and Aaron Burks as team's two sets of brothers on the 2010 roster.
