FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA DEFENSIVE BACK KEENAN NELSON JR. COMMITS TO OHIO STATE
Ohio State has added much-needed depth to its safety room.
On Friday, former South Carolina defensive back Keenan Nelson Jr. committed to Ohio State, bolstering a safety room that will feature Lathan Ransom, Caleb Downs, Malik Hartford, Jayden Bonsu, Jaylen McClain and Leroy Roker in 2024. Nelson will have three years of eligibility to use with the Buckeyes.
A four-star recruit in the 2022 class, Nelson hails from Philadelphia and St. Joseph's Prep — the alma mater of former Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and quarterback Kyle McCord. According to the 247Sports composite, Nelson was the No. 17 safety and No. 221 overall prospect in his class. He received offers from 21 schools and committed to South Carolina over Penn State, Georgia, Ole Miss and Oregon.
