SAN ANTONIO -- Ohio State struck gold in Texas again on Saturday with a commitment from five-star safety Jeffrey Okudah, the No. 8 ranked recruit in the ESPN 300.
Okudah, the nation's No. 1 safety prospect out of Grand Prairie, Texas, was one of seven recruits who announced commitments during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl at the Alamodome in San Antonio. He became the highest-rated member of the Buckeyes' third-ranked recruiting class and its 10th pledge from a top-100 ranked recruit.
Okudah talked at length about his recruitment process in a letter to his mom, who is sick with lymphoma, that was posted to The Players' Tribune.
