The Ohio State Buckeyes were a victim of the flip on National Signing Day, as four-star offensive lineman Doug Nester chose Virginia Tech over the Buckeyes. Nester was a verbal commit to OSU since Aug. 5, 2017, but the retirement of Urban Meyer played a role in his decision to play in Blacksburg, Virginia, instead of Columbus.
From Huntington, West Virginia, Nester is the second best prospect from the Mountaineer State and sixth best offensive guard, according to 247sports, in the 2019 class.
It’s a big miss for the Bucks—but in recent weeks, it was to be expected.
