Visiting for the Oregon game
It’s not often four players from one high school receive an offer from one school on the same day.
It’s even less likely all of them are in the same position group.
But that’s exactly what happened on June 17 for cornerback Jshawn Frausto-Ramos and three of his defensive back teammates at St. John Bosco (Bellflower, California), RJ Jones, Peyton Woodyard and Marcelles Williams. Jones and Frausto-Ramos, both four-star prospects in the class of 2023, and 2024 prospects Woodyard and Williams all received offers from Ohio State that day after participating in a camp at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center one day earlier.
“Just knowing there’s a possibility of playing with them for more years, that’s big,” Frausto-Ramos said. “I’ve always played with RJ Jones since my Pop Warner days. I’ve known the others since the sixth and seventh grade. Just keeping that brotherhood would be really cool.”
Frausto-Ramos, the 246th-best player nationally and the 26th-best cornerback in 2023 according to 247Sports’ composite rankings, told
Eleven Warriors he enjoyed his trip to Columbus to camp with the Buckeyes. He impressed OSU secondary coach Matt Barnes with his skill and one-on-one drills.
“(Barnes) really liked the way I was coming out of my breaks,” Frausto-Ramos said. “He was really impressed by that. The most important thing was we did one-on-ones and I feel like I did really well in those. I think I showed out and stood out compared to those other players. He feels like I have the opportunity to play at this level and that really meant a lot to me.”
“I don’t really have a top list, I’m keeping my options open,” Frausto-Ramos said. “By the end of my junior year I’ll start cutting down and start talking about what schools are in the lead. Each school has a reason as to why I might go there.”
