When Eric Nation saw his son pick up a Clemson offer, he thought his recruitment was over.
But 2023 four-star cornerback Ethan Nation insisted on visiting Ohio State in June anyway after he received an offer from the Buckeyes in May.
“Being totally transparent, after Ethan got the Clemson offer, which we all knew was his dream school, we really thought he was finished,” Eric said. “So when Ohio State came up, he told me, ‘No, Dad. I want to go visit Ohio State.’ I was just like, ‘Woah.’”
Ethan, the 133rd-best player and the 13th-best cornerback according to 247Sports’ composite rankings, impressed the Buckeyes while camping with the team in June.
