Ericson nabs Buckeye offer
Ohio State currently grasps a commitment from one Georgia prospect in the 2018 recruiting class in quarterback
Emory Jones, a five-star standout from Heard County High School. On Wednesday, the Buckeyes looked back to the Peach State as they sent out a new offer to '18 offensive guard
Warren Ericson of North Gwinnett (GA).
