Ohio State welcomed Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas four-star linebacker Derek Wingo to campus for a four-day unofficial visit with his father.

“It was great,” Wingo told Eleven Warriors. “Definitely [exceeded my expectations].”

The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Wingo — who is considered the 10th-best outside linebacker and No. 164 prospect overall in the Class of 2020 — has not been shy about his affinity for Ohio State, as he’s called it his dream school on numerous occasions.
