Allen (Texas) defensive back Jaylon Jones and Grand Prairie (Texas) South Grand Prairie 2017 safety Jeffrey Okudah worked out for the Ohio State Buckeyes on the outdoor fields at the Woody Hayes Facility early Friday morning.
Aside from all the hard work they put in on the field, both Jones and Okudah had a chance to take a trip around the campus upon arriving. They liked what they saw.
Via Bill Kurelic of 247Sports:
Jones left for Columbus on Wednesday, driving north with his father. Okudah camped at Tennessee on Thursday and then headed for Columbus late in the afternoon.
“I really like it,” Jones said when asked about his experience at Ohio State. “It’s an amazing place. I love the competitiveness. Everyone is competitive around here. It’s been a great time.”
Okudah had similar thoughts.
“I love it,” Okudah said. It’s amazing here.”
Jones mentioned hanging out with J.T. Barrett, Vonn Bell and Tyvis Powell.
Jones and Okudah both said they plan to make it back to Ohio State.
“For sure,” Okudah said as Jones nodded in agreement.
