Ohio State’s list of top cornerback and safety targets in the 2022 class has been hit on ad nauseam in this space. The Buckeyes, however, added a new name to their list of offers this week by extending one to Bergen Catholic (New Jersey) standout Jayden Bellamy.
The 6-foot-1, 275-pound cornerback has offers from nearly 20 other programs, highlighted by Notre Dame, Rutgers, Oklahoma, Pitt and Penn State – five schools that he tells Eleven Warriors are standing out the most and recruiting him the hardest – but when Ryan Day, Kerry Coombs and especially Matt Barnes came calling, that was a game-changing moment for the three-star prospect.
