Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel made a recruiting stop in the Twin Cities on Tuesday, visiting several schools and 2008 verbal commitment Willie Mobley of Eden Prairie.

Mobley, a four-star defensive tackle, denied Internet rumors Tuesday that he is considering decommitting from Ohio State in favor of the Gophers.

Mobley said he still talks to Gophers coach Tim Brewster and defensive line coach Tim Cross regularly, but he said that does not mean he is having a change of heart.

?I?m a Buckeye,? he said. ?Me and coach Cross and coach Brewster have a good relationship, but I?m a Buckeye. I?m happy with my decision. I wouldn?t have committed if I wasn?t [sure].?
