2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

It seems Edmunds is still saying the right things. Could be a ploy for more $, dunno. But from my experience in life, if there's smoke, then there's fire. Totally get the kid protecting himself from 'the talk'. We read about the recruit signing with someone else late in the game, but not as much about the school telling the kid there's no room in the inn for him when it's too late to find another place. Writers talk about the glitz and glamor of recruiting, but there's an ugly underside as well.

I don't think Edmunds has the leverage to pull such a ploy. I feel like if he were to do that, they would tell him to hit the road. The way they're pursuing other QBs it seems like they're content settling for him in the class but they want someone else

Before Brady Edmunds competed in the Elite 11 Finals on Friday, the California prospect opined it would be "hard" to back off his commitment to Ohio State as other teams pursue the standout signal caller.​

Speaking with him on Friday before the Elite 11 Finals, Edmunds said that things are still all good with Ohio State for now, but he's continuing to do his due diligence and explore his other options, with schools such as UCLA and Northwestern continuing to recruit Edmunds hard.

Note: The rest of the article is for "members only". I have no idea if he said anything else or not. The above paragraph is all that I could access/read.

Per Andrew at BH:

The folks at the Elite 11 tonight are being pretty critical about Edmunds' mobility. "Strong-armed pocket passer who struggles on the move" is what I keep reading.

Makes sense, as QBs in CFB need to be mobile enough to extend plays. You don’t need Justin Fields or Braxton Miller, but he better be close to Haskins or Stroud. It seems like Edmunds is closer to McCord or Boeckman
