What Jacolbe Cowan’s Commitment Means for Ohio State’s 2020 Recruiting Class

Ohio State earned the commitment of four-star defensive lineman Jacolbe Cowan on Friday night, with the Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day star choosing the Buckeyes over Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Oregon.

Cowan is ranked as the No. 165 overall recruit in the country, the No. 15 defensive tackle nationally and the No. 7 prospect out of North Carolina.
