Ohio State Coaches Travel Across the Country to See Prospects with Lifting of Dead Period, Jermaine Mathews and Malik Hartford Get In-home Visits

Ohio State coaches are about to rack up the miles on the recruiting trail.

With the end of the recruiting dead period Friday, various Buckeye coaches hit the road to various parts of the country with a primary focus on finishing the 2023 class strong.

Defensive line coach Larry Johnson and Ryan Day started their morning by visiting top defensive end target Joshua Mickens at his high school, Lawrence Central in Indianapolis. Mickens made two visits to OSU in November, including an official for the Michigan game. He decommitted from LSU a few days later.
