Spartans head coach Mark Dantonio got his fifteenth commitment today from Skyler Schofner for the 2010 class. MSU also landed its third offensive lineman, and like the other two, he is from Ohio.

Schofner has the prototypical big time tackle frame at 6-foot-7 and weighs 300 pounds. He does an excellent job of getting to the second level, meaning he explodes off the ball and gets to the linebackers and defensive backs.

He also has very good speed that allows him to pull and make blocks in space. He will need to work on his foot technique, but at the level he has played at, he as been able to get away with, at times, less than Big Ten technique with his speed and strength.

Schofner had a myriad of offers, but had held out waiting for an OSU offer. When that didn’t come, he pulled the trigger to join the Spartan Nation.

Mark Dantonio wants young men with the drive and the fire to go to the next level. Schofner has that drive. He told Spartan Nation, “It’s always been a goal since I was a kid,” Schofner said. “I want to go to college and get a scholarship and stuff, and then go from there to playing in the League. Knock on wood, that’s the dream.” At halftime of today’s game he gave Spartan Nation permission to run this story that we knew was coming for several days.

With this commitment the Spartans have 15 young men headed to MSU for the 2010 class. On Monday, Spartan Nation will detail how the final numbers for this class may shake out.
