Earlier today, I wrote about the tight friendship of Ohio State targets Jaylen Johnson and C.J. Hicks and the similarities between the two as their futures could be headed down identical paths – perhaps both landing in Columbus.
I was able to talk about Hicks a bit further with another player with whom he’s very close – Robert Landers, a first cousin of Hicks’ who has been excelling as a senior defensive tackle for the Buckeyes.
Landers says he’s seen some of Hicks’ play this year, but it’s hard during the season. He tried to catch him play during Ohio State’s bye week but was unable to due to other family priorities that came up.
