The Hurry-Up: Ryan Day Confident All Five Defensive Backs Will Sign Early, C.J. Stroud and Clark Phillips III Set Signing Dates

The Hurry-Up is your nightly dose of updates from the Ohio State football recruiting trail, keeping tabs on the latest from commits and targets from around the country.

Day Confident Defensive Back Class Will Remain Intact

We’re nearing the 24-hour countdown until the start of the three-day early signing period, which begins at 7 a.m. Wednesday and ends at 11:59 p.m Friday (for each athlete’s local time zone), and Ryan Day says he does not believe there will be any last-minute changes in the 2020 defensive back recruits’ commitments to Ohio State.

Though he couldn't name them due to NCAA rules, Day said on Monday that he expects all five commits – cornerbacks Clark Phillips III, Ryan Watts III, Lejond Cavazos, safety Lathan Ransom and athlete Cameron Martinez – to sign this week (that may not necessarily mean he expects them to sign on Wednesday).
