HEDGING THEIR BET
We wait to see on that front, as it could prove to be the No. 1 factor in Gosnell’s recruitment. In the meantime, the Buckeyes appear to be hedging their bet, so to speak, in tight end recruiting by extending an offer to Georgia’s Oscar Delp.
Delp (6-foot-5, 220 pounds) is the same type of prospect as Gosnell (6-foot-4, 225 pounds) physically, and he’s the same type of tight end the Buckeyes would like to pair with Christian.
While Christian is more of an in-line blocking tight end, both Delp and Gosnell are seen as tight ends who can be used out wide to utilize their speed and pass-catching abilities.
Delp spoke on that a bit with
Eleven Warriors on Thursday, detailing why Ohio State deemed him worthy of a scholarship offer.
“They told me they loved my speed and athleticism,” Delp said. “They envisioned me as a fast tight end that could make big plays which was a big factor on why they gave me an offer.
“Coach Wilson envisioned me as a tight end that could move around and line up in different spots in order to get the ball and make plays.”
Though Wilson and Delp did not discuss Gosnell at all or Gosnell’s recruitment, the Buckeye coach did speak with Delp about Christian and what the two could do together at the next level.
“We both have different skill sets and bring different things to the table and would make a great duo in coaches’ eyes,” Delp said.
