Ohio State cornerbacks coach Tim Walton received an intriguing call on Wednesday.
2025 Georgia cornerback Jontae Gilbert was making his weekly check-in with his primary recruiter at Ohio State, only this time he had a proposition for Walton. He was ready to end his recruitment right then and there and commit to Ohio State.
Walton was elated, but told Gilbert he needed to confirm that was all right with Ryan Day. Once Walton got the green light from Day, the pair reconnected on Friday. He wanted Gilbert to completely understand what being committed to Ohio State means.
