In the weeks leading up to Ohio State’s first recruiting camp, Ohio cornerback Jermaine Mathews was undecided whether or not he wanted to camp in Columbus on June 1.
He had already picked up close to 35 offers and was nearing the end of his recruitment with a commitment date for July 4. But Ohio State was the team the Winton Woods cornerback grew up rooting for, and the Buckeyes had yet to offer the 6-foot, 170-pound prospect.
Mathews didn’t want to go through his recruitment with any regrets. So he showed up Wednesday ready to work and earn his OSU offer.
