Five-Star Defensive End J.T. Tuimoloau Commits to Ohio State

The wait is over.

After a lengthy process that was delayed due to COVID-19 and the extended dead period, Ryan Day's 2021 recruiting class has added a major five-star piece.

J.T. Tuimoloau has committed to Ohio State on Sunday afternoon.

The nation's No. 3 overall player and No. 2 defensive lineman out of Eastside Catholic High School in Sammamish, Washington, Tuimoloau gives Ohio State a pair of five-star talents along the defensive line as he'll join forces with Pickerington edge rusher Jack Sawyer. Both are ranked among the top five player in the country regardless of position.
