VA DT Derrick Nnadi (Florida State Signee)

[Buckeye86]

@wadc45 you mentioned that Ohio State is pursuing Solomon Thomas over Holley- how do you see Nnadi fitting in to that dynamic- mainly, do you think they would take both if possible or will it be either/or given that Nnadi is a true DT and Solomon is a DE that probably could move inside if necessary.

Thanks.

@Buckeye86 I'm not sure other than maybe Thomas being Plan A and Nnadi being Plan B in the grand scheme of things. Hard to say a kid who could be a 5-star DT might be a Plan B but I just don't see room for both. My guess is that in a perfect world Thomas would be visiting first but that's not the case. I imagine the OSU staff will use their in-home with Thomas before Nnadi comes to visit and will have a better read on things.

Rivals$--Nnadi focused on five

Derrick will visit tOSU, UVA, and Vtech. He is also very high on FSU but says Coach O'Brien's departure does affect his thoughts.

Do you mean PSU?

FSU and PSU rounding out his top 5 but O'Brien's departure does affect his thoughts on PSU is what I think he meant. First 3 are confirmed upcoming visits I believe. Has a top 5 w/ PSU falling back a little is my take.

This guy will instantly make your secondary coach look like a genius.

I was on the fence about this kid early in the process. He really seems to have developed over his senior year, to the point that I would be just as happy with him or Solomon Thomas. Either one would be a welcomed addition.

"Knox on wood", as they don't say:

No one has Va DT prospect Derrick Nnadi to OSU but sources here say it is 50/50 between Ohio State and Virginia Tech. He has formed a close bond with Demetrius Knox, calling him on the phone while I was interviewing Knox.

Well well well. Sounds like good news to me.

Derrick Nnadi (6’1” 300 DT, 2014, VA Beach, VA)
All I heard from sources is that he had a good time and is still 50/50 OSU/VT. Ohio State would love to add another DT and Nnadi would be one they would accept on the spot. Most have him leaning VT but this visit should help OSU significantly.

Derrick Nnadi's coach thinks #FSU leads but it all comes down to that #Hokies visit.

50/50 between OSU and VT, but FSU leads..........huh??? Call me confused.

Forget the percentages. It's trending away from Ohio State.

I've thought FSU for a while, especially after their title run.
