4-Star OT Matt Jones Commits to Ohio State Buckeyes

The Ohio State Buckeyes added a potentially dominant physical presence to their future offensive line Saturday when offensive tackle prospect Matt Jones joined their 2018 recruiting class.

According to Tim Moody of Scout, Jones "had long been thought to be an Ohio State lean" and committed Saturday during a visit to the school.

Jones, who is 6'4" and 285 pounds, is a 4-star prospect, per Scout, and the No. 145 overall player, No. 11 offensive tackle and No. 1 offensive tackle from the state of New York.

He attracted the attention of some of the best programs in the nation during his recruiting process, as Ohio State, Clemson, Penn State, Alabama, Florida, Michigan and Miami, among others, were all included on Scout's list of interested schools at one point.
