Jaden McKenzie Commits and Signs With Ohio State, Giving the Buckeyes a Late Addition to the Defensive Line

The future stars of Ohio State football officially begin their college careers, as standouts from all over the country put pens to their National Letters of Intent.

It took until the first day of the Early Signing Period, but Ohio State finally has its defensive tackle.

Three-star Jaden McKenzie committed to play for the Buckeyes and signed his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, opting to play for Larry Johnson's unit rather than remain close to home at an ACC school.

Ohio State has been interested in McKenzie for a while and offered him a scholarship on June 26.
