By the end of the first early signing day, 13 of the 16 players who were previously committed to the Ohio State recruiting class signed on the dotted line. Two other players chose to play for the Buckeyes and one was coach Ryan Day’s No. 1 target, and one of the most coveted recruits in the country.
6 ft. 5, 243 pound Zach Harrison is the No. 1 strong-side defensive end in the country and the No. 4 overall recruit in the country in the 247Sports Composite. He waited until yesterday to announce his decision to play for the Buckeyes.
