WHAT ZACH HARRISON'S COMMITMENT MEANS FOR OHIO STATE'S 2019 RECRUITING CLASS

100739_h.jpg


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?

Ryan Day and Larry Johnson delivered in a big way this afternoon when five-star defensive end Zach Harrison signed with Ohio State over Michigan and Penn State. The Lewis Center pass rusher had been the Buckeyes' top 2019 target throughout the entire cycle but keeping the state's top prospect in Columbus was far from an easy task.

We take a closer look at what the commitment from the nation's No. 4 prospect means for the Buckeyes' 2019 recruiting class.

ON THE FIELD
Zach Harrison simply has the look of a pass rusher. He's nearly 6-foot-6 and 243 pounds with an impressive long frame. He did battle some injuries during his senior year, but there's no question that all of the tools are there for him to develop into an elite defensive end under Larry Johnson's tutelage.

As far as his athleticism and testing numbers, they are absolutely off the charts. Harrison is a physical marvel and while he was in Frisco, Texas competing in The Opening Finals, he recorded a blistering 4.47-second 40-yard dash. He's also become a bit of a legend on the track circuit as he clocked a 10.78 100-meter dash and 21.55 in the 200 last spring.



The five-star certainly could add 20+ pounds to his frame in the coming years, and it's truly scary to think about what he may become under Johnson's leadership. Harrison has noted on multiple occasions that he recognizes Ohio State's defensive line coach as the best in America, and now he's going to have the opportunity to be developed by the best.

His player comparison according to 247Sports? Jadeveon Clowney

IN THE CLASS
The Harrison signing gives the Buckeyes a pair of in-state defensive ends with Mentor's Noah Potter also heading to Columbus. The expectation has long been that Ohio State could take up to three players at the position for 2019, and that may still be the case as Lexington outside linebacker Cade Stover could end up growing into more of a pass rusher.

Getting in early will be a huge jump start. Just needs to soak it all in and figure out the pace of everything. You know Coach Mick and LJsr already have a plan to the ‘T’ on how they are going to work with this dude. Just get him ready for a solid fall camp.

Well, truly YUGEEEE for many reasons that are obvious to state. Columbus kid, 5 star, position of need, was strongly considering going to B1G rivals, big recruiting statement for Day (as well as Eichenberg), etc. While I think he was seriously looking around, I think he was leaning OSU the whole time though. But I think the big thing is that we are getting really good, humble kid with a great family. He is no pampered or entitled recruit, he is going to come in here and work to get better...and keep his nose clean. He will take some work technically, but no doubt the freak talent is there. Welcome home Zach!
