Jyaire Brown, Malik Hartford, Austin Siereveld and Tegra Tshabola Are Making Lakota’s Schools a New Pipeline for Ohio State

Buckeye Pipelines puts the spotlight each week on a high school program who has had numerous and notable alumni go on to play for the Scarlet and Gray.

This week, we're going to deviate from the norm and take a look at two high schools that derived from Lakota High School: Lakota East and Lakota West. The three schools have combined to produce seven Ohio State football players since 1996.

Yes, seven players in 25 years does not necessarily elevate a program – and in this case programs – to pipeline status. However, Lakota East and Lakota West currently have four players committed to play for the Buckeyes in the 2022 and 2023 classes.
