FOUR-STAR DEFENSIVE BACK LEJOND CAVAZOS COMMITS TO OHIO STATE
.
.
.
“Ohio State has everything I need to be great,” Cavazos told Eleven Warriors, noting the program’s emphasis on life after football was a key factor in his decision.
.

.
Cavazos’ father, C.J., has known head coach Urban Meyer for nearly 20 years, so it came as no surprise when the Buckeyes offered his son during their first visit to campus for last year’s Spring Game. He became just the third prospect from his cycle to hold such a distinction.
“It means a lot, especially because it's DBU,” Cavazos said at the time.
In the months thereafter, Cavazos built a strong relationship with Meyer and defensive coordinator Greg Schiano. He reached out to them at least once a week and made it clear Ohio State was his leader early in the process.
“I would say that this is the best relationship with any college I have by far,” Cavazos said.
Cavazos — who originally hails from Cibolo, Texas — returned to Columbus for the Buckeyes’ thrilling 39-38 win over Penn State, and got to see first-hand what it was like to be a member of the team. He went through the pregame walkthrough and stood in the locker room as the coaches gave their halftime speech, sparking the 18-point comeback.
“It was a crazy atmosphere,” Cavazos said. “I loved it!”
Cavazos returned for this year’s Spring Game in mid-April, where he hung out with four-star offensive tackle commit Jake Wray and four-star quarterback target Jack Miller III. He also met with co-defensive coordinator/safeties coach Alex Grinch for the first time and was reunited with family friend and new cornerbacks coach Taver Johnson.
“It went great — expect for them spicy wings I got,” Cavazos said with a laugh. “We weren’t really talking about football. It was more of getting to know each other and learn more about each other than we already know.”

WHAT LEJOND CAVAZOS' COMMITMENT MEANS FOR OHIO STATE'S 2020 RECRUITING CLASS
Finding the right fit for your college football program isn't just about what happens on the field, but off it as well. Today, Ohio State added a key piece. How will that commitment impact the Buckeyes?
Ohio State landed a commitment this evening from Brandenton, Florida, IMG Academy four-star defensive back Lejond Cavazos, which gives the Buckeyes their sixth pledge from the perennial powerhouse program in the last five years.
Let's take a closer look at what Cavazos – the No. 197 prospect overall in the Class of 2020 – brings to Columbus.
ON THE FIELD
The 6-foot, 186-pound Cavazos — whose first name is pronounced "leg-end" — is certainly underrated by most recruiting services as he recorded just eight tackles and one interception in backup duty (two starts) with the Ascenders last season, a number that will surely rise as he sees his role expand on the field this fall.
Cavazos’ testing numbers back up that statement, too, as he clocked a sub-4.5-second 40-yard dash at Ohio State’s one-day camp earlier this month. He also posted a 4.38-second shuttle, 43-inch vertical leap and tossed the power ball 37 feet during Nike Football’s The Opening Dallas Regional back in April, despite dealing with a strained hamstring.
A two-sport athlete, Cavazos ran a 7.97-second 60-meter hurdle and a 13.80-second 110-meter hurdle during the the New York New Balance Indoor Nationals this spring, both exceptional times for a high school athlete.
Cavazos is a phenomenal athlete who excelled when working with Buckeyes co-defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and cornerbacks coach Taver Johnson during the aforementioned camp. He showed great instincts, change of direction and explosiveness in and out of his breaks in individual drills, while his long arms and closing speed made him disruptive in one-on-one matchups with wide receivers.
Although the physical attributes are there, Cavazos is still very raw from a playing-time perspective and in terms of knowledge of defensive positioning and schemes. His potential is through the roof, however, which is a big reason why he’s already one of the most sought-after prospects in the country.

The family is also quite familiar with new cornerbacks coach Taver Johnson, who was also a graduate assistant with the Fighting Irish in 1999. Those relationships, plus the staff’s ability to develop top-flight defensive backs, put the Buckeyes in the drivers seat early in the process.
“I trust my career in their hands,” Lejond Cavazos said.
