FIVE-STAR WIDE RECEIVER BRANDON INNISS GETTING ACCLIMATED TO LIFE AT OHIO STATE, CONFIDENT HE CAN MAKE EARLY IMPACT AND BECOME “A HOUSEHOLD NAME”
Even though he was ranked as one of the best wide receivers in the recruiting class of 2023, Brandon Inniss’ first couple of months at Ohio State haven’t been easy.
Since he arrived at Ohio State in May, Inniss has been initiated into life as a Buckeye by going through summer workouts led by Mickey Marotti and his sports performance staff. For a summer enrollee like him, those workouts can serve as a welcome to college football, and the coaches certainly haven’t taken it easy on Inniss despite his five-star status.
“Very, very, very hard,” Inniss said when asked how his first summer workouts have gone. “But you know, you get used to it, and we're having fun now with it.”
While Inniss has learned firsthand about the grind of playing college football since he arrived in Columbus, the Florida native – who was ranked as the No. 35 overall prospect in the 2023 class – wouldn’t want it any other way. Inniss’ excitement to begin his college football career and learn from Brian Hartline has been apparent throughout the offseason, as he was on campus to watch several practices this spring even though he didn’t enroll until May, and he’s thrilled to now officially be a Buckeye and on the precipice of his first season wearing the scarlet and gray.
“I’ve enjoyed it very much,” Inniss said when asked about how he’s enjoyed his time at Ohio State so far. “I mean, I've been waiting to get to college for so long. Finally here, but I'm ready. It’s the time.”
