Among the 11 members of Ohio State’s recruiting class of 2022 who enrolled early, no one has more momentum than Kye Stokes coming out of spring practices.
Going into the spring, most people probably wouldn’t have picked Stokes to be a top candidate to play immediately as a true freshman. After all, he was the third-lowest-ranked Ohio State signee in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the 2022 class, and he entered a crowded safety room that is set to have 12 players on scholarship this season even after Bryson Shaw entered the transfer portal.
After just 15 practices as a Buckeye, however, Stokes already looks like someone who’s going to be tough to keep off the field this fall.
