Welcome to the fam Kyion! This was kind of expected, but still a big commitment. I know the easy comparison is to Olave. Won't be the fastest WR on the team or have the most HR ability. But they run very good routes, get open, move chains, and if a CB bites on a move their gone. Kyion will be a great compliment to our WR room

“We’ve talked about the challenge that he’s going to face at Ohio State,” Garretson said. “He wants to leave early. He wants to be a three-year guy and to do that, he’s going to have to absolutely work his butt off and I think that’s something he’s ready for because you have to do that to play at Chandler High School. You have to be willing to do the little things and he likes to be coached hard. Not too many kids seek that out.

“He studies, all the time. He studies his own game, his studies his opponents and he studies the players he admires. He’s a real student of the game and on top of that, where he really is unique, is that he’s an unbelievably great teammate. He’s humble. He embraces other successes. I mean, he’s just — he checks all the boxes — you know? I don’t say that about everybody. But he’s just a guy that knows how to go about his business and is a pleasure to coach.”



GRAYES EXCITED ABOUT HARTLINE’S COACHING, MATCHING UP WITH JOHNSON

That is in contrast to that of five-star cornerback Will Johnson, whose commitment to Michigan fans knew to watch out for more than a week in advance.

Since Johnson’s commitment time was already known when we spoke with Grayes, we asked the four-star receiver about the juxtaposition of his announcement that he would join the Buckeye offense on the same day that Johnson was joining the Michigan defense. Eventually, those two are likely to match up with one another (perhaps in one-on-one coverage down the field, though Grayes is likely to line up in the slot during his Big Ten career while Johnson is an outside corner), and that’s what made it really cool that they committed within hours of each other.

We’ll surely be talking about that for a long time. At the very least, you’re certain to hear it on TV broadcasts as announcers use it as a fun fact down the road if the two find themselves squaring up one-on-one someday on the last Saturday of November.

“I’ve talked to him, I’ve never really met him, but I know who he is,” Grayes said of Johnson, admitting the novelty of two players committing to opposite teams of the biggest rivalry in college football as a pretty cool fact thrown into each of their recruitments. “It would be kind of a big show for both those schools. It’ll give both schools hype in a sense. It would be great (to play in that matchup), it would just help make you even more great. It’s nice. I didn’t even think about that. It’s crazy.”
