Ryan Day recently hinted that Ohio State could see a wave of commitments start rolling in. Well, today the Buckeyes saw one such commitment come to fruition. Malik Hartford made his intentions known live on CBSSports HQ Wednesday afternoon when he unzipped his hoodie to reveal an Ohio State t-shirt.
Hartford is rated as the No. 11 safety in the country by 247Sports composite rankings for the 2023 class. The four-star recruit and Cincinnati native chose the Buckeyes over Cincinnati, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and West Virginia.
Hartford’s commitment doesn’t come as too much of a surprise as all crystal ball predictions had him landing in Columbus.
