GROSSE POINTE, Mich. – It’s an hour before the NFL Draft, maybe even less than that, and Ohio State knows exactly what it’s doing.
The Buckeye coaches know what’s about to happen a short time from now, with scarlet and gray about to bleed onto TVs tuned into ESPN or the NFL Network. So they know they are going to have to take advantage of the moment as best they can. That’s what is leading to this moment, as they have arranged a Zoom call between William Johnson, his parents and a large portion of the coaching staff – including Ryan Day and Kerry Coombs.
