Ohio State Building Foundation for Another Elite Recruiting Class in 2022 With Early Commitments from Top In-State Prospects
Even though he didn’t have many ties to Ohio before he became an assistant coach for the Buckeyes in 2017, Ryan Day has successfully recruited in-state prospects as well as anyone could have hoped for so far in his tenure as Ohio State’s head coach.
In his introductory press conference in December 2018, Day asserted that recruiting the top high school football players in the state of Ohio would “continue to be our first priority.” He backed that up almost immediately by landing commitments from two in-state prospects, including five-star defensive end Zach Harrison, in the 15 days between being named head coach and the class of 2019’s early signing period.
