The 18th installment of this year's Better Know a Buckeye series follows the feature on Torrance Gibson with a profile of a player who committed to Ohio State a day after him. Josh Norwood was originally committed to Cincinnati through the summer and fall before attracting attention and offers from much bigger programs. One of these programs, Ohio State, was able to convince the Valdosta, Georgia native to head further up I-75/I-71 to play college football on November 4th of last year. This was just a few days after his unofficial visit for the Illinois game.
