“I am really happy,” Gray told Lettermen Row after earning the offer. “It’s amazing. Like, really amazing.

“It’s crazy — really crazy. It shows how God moves in mysterious ways. He gave me these gifts and talents to be great and not to limit myself. It tells me that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Nothing is impossible. I believe that I can be great.”

Ohio State must believe it, too. That’s why the contact with Gray has increased in recent weeks.

“I have been in communication with Coach Coombs for the past couple of weeks,” he said. “He said they are interested. I was very happy to hear that.”

That interest took on a different meaning on Wednesday. Now he leaves Columbus knowing his recruitment is about to enter a different stratosphere. There’s no rush for any kind of decision, however.

“Yes, this definitely changes things,” he said. “We had a great conversation with my mom after the offer. I will be attending other camps and making other unofficial visits.”

Christian Gray adapting to coaching changes at Ohio State, other top schools

College football is changing and no one is having a harder time keeping up than recruits around the country.

Over the last few weeks, Christian Gray has seen his entire recruiting plan get turned upside down. Coaches at a number of the schools he’s considered the most — including Ohio State, Notre Dame and Oklahoma — have left for other jobs. Kerry Coombs led the Buckeyes recruiting efforts for the No. 24-ranked cornerback, but he’s now at Cincinnati.

And to this point, Gray is still waiting to hear from either Tim Walton or Perry Eliano, the new coaches in the Ohio State secondary. Ryan Day has stayed in contact with Christian Gray, but his recruitment feels uneasy. After earning an offer from Coombs last summer, Gray had begun to see himself fitting in with the Buckeyes.

“Their brotherhood shows in actions,” The DeSmet (St. Louis) High School product said. “They don’t turn on each other or against each other. They don’t do nothing negative. All they do is hype each other up, stay positive and get through the game to try to get the win.”

Right now, the 5-foot-11, 175-pound cornerback is looking for a win of his own. He’d like to be committed in the near future but won’t rush things. Especially now that he’s seen the way college football can be turned on its head so quickly.
