Grant Toutant Details How He Made the Decision to Flip to Ohio State

Michigan offensive tackle Grant Toutant flipped his commitment from Penn State to Ohio State, and for the most part, it didn't have to do with football.

Grant Toutant committed to Penn State on Nov. 24 and remained strongly committed to the Nittany Lions throughout the remainder of his junior year, even as offers from Michigan State, Auburn and Ohio State trickled in and he participated at camps like the Under Armour All-America Camp in Cincinnati.

But a growing concern began to nag him toward the end of his school year and into the summer.

“When I initially committed, I looked into the engineering program at Penn State, and from what I had seen, it was a really good program,” Toutant told Eleven Warriors.
