Cincinnati Linebacker Christopher Oats Cancels Official Visit While Ohio State Makes Cut For Virginia Running Back Devyn Ford

CHANGE OF PLANS

Cincinnati Winton Woods four-star linebacker Christopher Oats was expected to take an official visit to Ohio State this weekend, most likely setting the stage for his commitment next Wednesday, National Signing Day. There's been a change of plans, though, and all signs point toward him ending up with Kentucky instead.

As first reported this afternoon by Rivals' Marc Givler and since confirmed by Eleven Warriors, the 6-foot-4, 215-pound Oats has called off the visit despite the Buckeyes still pushing for his pledge.
