Three-star 2024 tight end Ryner Swanson may reside in California, but his family has plenty of Ohio roots.
His father, Boad, graduated from Upper Arlington High School in 1991. A good portion of the Swanson family still resides in the Columbus area, so Ryner is used to making yearly trips to Columbus.
But his latest trip to Ohio was certainly more unique than others. About two weeks ago, Ohio State reached out to Swanson to express interest in the tight end and invited him and his family to a game at Ohio Stadium. Swanson and his family attended OSU’s 54-10 victory over Iowa on Saturday, marking his first visit to Columbus as a college football recruit.
