FOUR-STAR 2023 DEFENSIVE TACKLE KAYDEN MCDONALD SAYS OHIO STATE IS "AT THE VERY TOP" OF HIS RECRUITMENT AHEAD OF HIS OCT. 31 COMMITMENT DATE
There’s only a couple of spots left to fill in Ohio State’s 2023 recruiting class.
Defensive tackle, in particular, is still a position where the Buckeyes would like to add another high-profile prospect. They’ll get an answer before the month concludes on one of their top remaining priority targets.
Ohio State put a full-court press on four-star Georgia defensive tackle
Kayden McDonald on Sept. 24 when he took an official visit to Columbus, his first trip to Columbus since October 2021 when he came for the Penn State game.
“Ohio State was a great visit,” McDonald told
Eleven Warriors. “I saw everything. I met with one of the professors with broadcasting, people from the academic side and strength and conditioning. I watched the practice on Sunday after they dominated Saturday’s game.
“The gameday atmosphere was insane. It was a surreal environment. Of course, the defensive line played great, they contained the run and the pass rush was efficient.”
Asked about the difference in his visits compared from last year to this year, McDonald couldn’t help but gush about how different defensively the Buckeyes look compared to what he saw a year ago.
“It’s a different vibe with coach Knowles being the defensive coordinator,” McDonald said. “The defense looks faster. They’re playing more together and relentless. It’s a relentless defense and a national championship type defense.”
