Ohio State DT Commit Eric Mensah Says He Committed to the Buckeyes Because of the Opportunity to Play for Larry Johnson and the Program's Tradition

When college coaches flocked to Mountain View High School in Stafford, Virginia, the past few years, it was usually to see four-star 2024 linebacker Kristopher Jones, who has since transferred schools.

Jones, a one-time Ohio State target now committed to Georgia, was worthy of the attention, as he’s considered the No. 9 linebacker prospect and the No. 2 player in Virginia in the 2024 cycle per 247Sports’ composite rankings.

But Mountain View head coach Lou Sorrentino also made sure college coaches looked at defensive tackle Eric Mensah, who has started on varsity for all four years of his prep career.
