I'm not even going to lie. I was tearing up reading this. Damn the good guys just got better today.

You are certainly not alone my friend, wow...just an incredible story. And echoing everyone else's comments, probably my favorite recruit of this class after reading that. He will certainly be a future captain and leader of our team. Outstanding player and my favorite DB in the '17 class, but great to learn he is an even better person.

I’ve been told I have the talent to one day achieve my dream of playing in the NFL, and that’s great — but that’s not all that I think I have the talent for. In college, I want to take classes that challenge me to reconsider the way I look at the world. I want to intern at Fortune 500 companies, and to gain experience in boardrooms that are just as competitive as any locker room. And one day, I want to start a business that will ensure that my family will always be comfortable, whether football works out or not.

Wanted just to post a "happy gif," but. Good Lord. If Jeff Okudah is a "bust" on the football field (and I don't expect for a moment he will be), he will be a winner at life with this attitude. No question, I'm proud to be a Buckeye when I see a young man like Okudah will be also. Great, great recruiting triumph, and less for the talent on the field than for the quality off of it.

GO BUCKS!
