It didn't take long or too much effort to sell Babb on the idea of playing for Ohio State. He loved his visits in May and June of 2016, which resulted in a scholarship offer from the Buckeyes. A Missouri lean to that point, Babb favored Ohio State for good after seeing Ohio State's thrilling win against Michigan in the 2016 regular season finale. He waited over a year before making his commitment to Ohio State public.
I retell this recruitment below. Thereafter, I provide a wide receiver prospect that Ohio State fans should like for how he fights for extra yards. I offer a projection that Babb will redshirt in 2018 and close with some junior-year highlight film to watch at the end of the feature.
HIS RECRUITMENT
Ohio State found Kamryn Babb in the summer of 2016. He already held offers from the major programs in his vicinity that would be scanning St. Louis hard for talent. Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Missouri, and Nebraska all extended offers before the end of his sophomore year. A series of visits in that May and June, culminating in a camp performance that earned Babb an instantaneous offer.
Babb, at the time, may have been leaning more toward staying in-state and playing for Missouri. It may have been the most "prestigious" of any offer he received before Ohio State, the extent to which Missouri is still the gem of its state notwithstanding its varying football fortunes. The path of his recruitment changed toward Ohio State when Babb took an unofficial visit to Columbus for the regular season finale against Michigan. The game itself was far from pretty but the end result created great theater for a recruit getting his first in-game experience at Ohio State. It resonated strongly with Babb.
