Who is going to enroll early for Ohio State?
As of right now, there are 14 future Buckeyes getting set to head to Columbus. But any potential additions to the Ohio State 2021 class during the early signing period — namely 5-star wide receiver Emeka Egbuka — could still decide to do similarly. These are the young men expected to be starting their college careers when January hits.
  • QB Kyle McCord, 5-star, Philadelphia (Pa.) St. Joe’s Prep
  • RB TreVeyon Henderson, 5-star, Hopewell (Va.)
  • RB Evan Pryor, 4-star, Cornelius (N.C.) William A. Hough
  • WR Jayden Ballard, 4-star, Massillon (Ohio) Washington
  • WR Marvin Harrison, 4-star, Philadelphia (Pa.) St. Joe’s Prep
  • TE Sam Hart, 3-star, Aurora (Colo.) Cherokee Trail
  • OL Ben Christman, 4-star, Richfield (Ohio) Revere
  • OL Zen Michalski, 4-star, Floyd’s Knob (Ind.) Floyd Central
  • DL Jack Sawyer, 5-star, Pickerington (Ohio) North
  • DL Tyleik Williams, 4-star, Manassas (Va.) Unity Reed
  • LB Reid Carrico, 4-star, Ironton (Ohio)
  • DB Jantzen Dunn, 4-star, Bowling Green (Ky.) South Warren
  • DB Denzel Burke, 4-star, Scottsdale (Ariz.) Saguaro
  • P Jesse Mirco, 3-star, Australia
The Class of 2021 has been challenged from start to finish, with Covid-19 restrictions eliminating college visits, All-American games and entire seasons of football. But at least some things haven’t been impacted, and these 14 prospects aren’t going to miss the opportunity to compete at Ohio State as soon as possible.

With the train wreck that is LSU, and by that I’m not talking about their current record but their off field issues, NCAA problems, and drama. Does anyone see a path for Derick Davis back to OSU? It seems just as possible to me as the LBer Davis. I know Derick is a recent commitment for them but as more and more comes out it seems like a place where recruits might want to avoid. Even current players are rumored to be jumping ship.

No inside info just a thought process.

The latest I heard was that he is still "100% committed to LSU", but hasn't ruled out a visit to OSU just yet. I believe Birm said in a recent update on LR, Talking Stuff with Spencer mainly a Emeka update (2-3 days ago....sorry, no link) he gave a quick update on Davis and Leigh at the beginning..... said that he (Davis) wasn't going to sign on early signing day, he was taking his time, and that he didn't think he would end up at LSU in the end. They both agreed that they felt Leigh was no longer a possibility for OSU though.

Just bc LSU self-imposed a bowl ban doesn't mean the NCAA is done with them yet. I think it's worth keeping an eye on. Birm said he could see either USC or OSU as possible destinations for Davis (it's been a long work week though so I could have imagined it....lol).

I can’t help but think that common sense dictates that if NCAA sanctions start becoming more and more a possibility that it costs them a few recruits. Add in possible coaching changes (assistants) and it makes even more sense. -As I don’t see the current staff staying intact.

but it’s possible I’m seeing the current news and making the mistake that it’s impacting this year’s cycle when it’s likely more impactful to 2022.
