Welcome aboard Eric! Rankings are pretty low, hopefully he is a diamond in the rough or late bloomer type. Seems like a future DT and imo we didn't have to take another DT past Scott in this class, so that would indicate to me the staff really likes this kid.

Ohio State Flips 2024 Defensive Lineman Eric Mensah from Virginia Tech
Ohio State has landed its third defensive lineman in the 2024 class with the commitment of Eric Mensah.
MENSAH BRINGS STRONG INTERIOR PRESENCE TO OSU'S 2024 RECRUITING CLASS
In his junior season at Mountain View High School (Stafford, Virginia), Mensah turned in an outstanding campaign where he recorded eight sacks and forced three fumbles.The interior defensive lineman was adept at creating havoc in the opposing team's backfield, as he consistently shed blocks to blow up running plays and record tackles for loss. Often, he'd find ways to make tackles while still being partially blocked. Occasionally, he'll even chase down ball carries from a few yards out, as his speed is above average for someone of his size.
Mensah could project as a three-technique or another position on the interior defensive line at the collegiate level, but may need a few years with OSU's strength and conditioning program before he's ready to see the field.

Good to see them take a kid who they obviously like but might not be tops on their list. Feels like they waited too long to do this in years past and just didn't take a recruit.

Great news! Eric is a couple of biscuits away from 300 lbs and so there is no way he is an edge rusher in college. But we need beef on the interior and so this is a really good pick up.
