NATIONAL SIGNING DAY NOTEBOOK: HOLDING A SPOT FOR J.T. TUIMOLOAU, FOLLOWING BLUEPRINT OF LANDING LEADERS EARLY, OSU BEING “AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE”

HOLDING TUIMOLOAU’S SPOT
“This is a strange year,” Day said on Wednesday.

In years past, he said, the coaching staff would be hovered around a fax machine during the February National Signing Day waiting for the official letters of intent to start streaming in. Instead, Day talked about how it’s a bit odd to have those 15 early enrollees already undergoing winter workouts and having seen almost the entire recruiting class in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on the same day that he’s meeting with the media to discuss that exact recruiting class.

We say almost because this group of Ohio State signees is not yet complete. At least Day, Larry Johnson and Co. hope it’s not.

While we saw Raesjon Davis do the expected and stay home with a commitment to USC, there remains one holdout in the form of a player who absolutely can afford to delay his decision.

Five-star Eastside Catholic (Washington) defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau is the No. 3 overall player in America and is the No. 1 (and only) prospect remaining on Ohio State’s board in the 2021 class.

“Again, that’s a moving target as well, and we’ll try to do the best we can. If there’s certain people out there that we wanna save a spot for, we will and we’ll always make sure we have something available for a great player.”

247Sports Composite: 5-star | 0.9990 | No. 3 Overall | No. 2 SDE

Finalists: Alabama | Ohio State | Oregon | USC | Washington
Measurables: 6-4.5 | 277
Player evaluation: Powerful, athletic and nimble, with room to still add significant weight at the next level. Has lined up on the edge, mixing with hand down while also standing up. Elite pass rusher, who can mix a variety of moves with pure strength to shed his blockers. Can drop into coverage against running backs, receivers and tight ends and has the athleticism and ball skills to be a force in coverage. Has even played safety. Could be a top tight end prospect if he focused on offense, with natural pass-catching skills, ability to track the ball and high point it and run after the catch. Also a high-major basketball player, averaging nearly a double-double in prep career. As he continues to add weight and strength, figures to be among the elite pass-rushers at the next level. Projects as an instant impact Power 5-starter and a Top Ten overall draft pick. – 247Sports National Recruiting Editor Brandon Huffman
