Head Coach
I should’ve clarified more.
Al Washington is a special human being, and those who have come into contact with him, speak very highly of him. Those that know Al well, and on a day to day basis, will have an up close opportunity to sell Al once Raesjon is in Columbus. It’s promising.

Absolutely. There's a chance at some PT right away and at the very least, even the returning guys are pretty veteran. So Davis is likely only a year out at worst from hitting the field.

Doubt he's coming to see the weather in Columbus in late January. This feels like a business trip. Certainly isn't going to hurt that some of this classmates will be on campus.

Yeah, I'm suspicious of believing online "family", I've seen too many message boards(our little encounter with Lamarcus Joyner's "uncle" comes to mind) where fans get burned believing some person who claims to be family to with a top recruit. I'd take this with a heavy grain of salt...

THE HURRY-UP: RAESJON DAVIS PREVIEWS UPCOMING OHIO STATE VISIT, THE “LAST STEP” IN HIS RECRUITING PROCESS
DAVIS PREVIEWS OHIO STATE VISIT
Raesjon Davis’ phone over the past week has essentially been over-heated to the touch.
Makes sense. Davis is one of the most highly prized recruits left in the 2021 class. And ever since he dropped his top five of Ohio State, LSU, USC, Oregon and Vanderbilt on Sunday, the communication has been overwhelming at times.
“My messages have been blowing up with all these coaches,” Davis told Eleven Warriors on Wednesday night. “After I dropped my top five, everybody’s been texting me. I put it on ‘do not disturb.’ I just had to get my head right to see where I actually wanna go. I try to stay off social media, too. That’s why I’ve been going to practice and lifting weights, just trying to get my head right.”
So there’s a lot of stress in Davis’ decision, but two weeks from now he will have cemented his decision as he tells us that he still plans on signing with one of those five schools on Feb. 3’s National Signing Day.
My overwhelming opinion is that the Mater Dei (California) four-star prospect – ranked No. 45 overall, No. 4 at outside linebacker and No. 3 in the state – is choosing between either Ohio State or USC.
Though Oregon is in good standing as well, it’s those two programs that are neck-and-neck in the race to land Davis. This weekend, Columbus and Ohio State’s campus will get their chance to make one last impression on Davis and his family, as he will be making a visit to the city with his parents.
“It’s the last step because it’s the last school so we’re just waiting to see how this goes,” Davis said.
The plane tickets were bought on Tuesday, as Davis, his parents and his uncle will be flying out on Friday before returning on Sunday. And you wouldn't be making an expensive visit on your own dime, flying across the country in the 11th hour, if you weren't serious about picking that school.
“My uncle went to Toledo out there so he knows a lot about Ohio State. He’s going out there with us also, so he said he can show us around out there,” Davis said.
There hasn’t been any sort of detailed itinerary that Ohio State’s coaches have given Davis on what spots to hit, but that’s likely to come once he gets on a planned Zoom call this week with Al Washington.
“I guess we’re gonna figure out (what spots to hit) when we get there, really,” Davis said. “(My mom) was just trying to see if we could talk to some of the players, the early freshmen, to see if they could show us around.”

“That’s critical because I just want my parents to see it,” Davis said. “So once they see it, I’ll know exactly how I feel. Because my parents are a huge part of my decision so I always ask them about (what they think about a school).
“That’s what I’m trying to see (is that spark). Because I knew after that visit they were excited about it, so I’m trying to see if they get that same feeling about Ohio State. They’re super excited. My mom’s been trying to go up there for the last, like, three weeks. So we’re just happy to finally get out there.”

Just sayin': Kind of sounds like he wants to sell his parents on the Buckeyes.

Parties with Pete Johnson's Beard
Just watched Raesjon's film for the first time. He is lightning in a bottle
Rae's wheels make him really unique. He's fast enough to be a speed rusher as a Will (and he's so good at that that if he put on a whole bunch of weight on his frame, I could see him move to DE ala Thad Gibson... with that said, I hope he stays small). However, he's also fast enough to lock and stay with TE's and (by the look of it) WR's in coverage as a Sam
Looks like a potential game changer at LB and it is REALLY exciting to finally get him on campus!
