The recruitment of Devin Royal — a Columbus-native who also happens to be one of the top players in the state— is heating up. Less than two weeks after announcing his top nine schools, Royal has cut it to three, and the Buckeyes are one of them.
Royal is officially down to Ohio State, Michigan State, and Alabama, but it’s looking like a showdown between the programs in Columbus and East Lansing. Royal has taken official visits to MSU and OSU already, but the Buckeyes have been after him for longer.
