Ohio State football has been killing it on the recruiting trail and although they haven’t gotten a commitment from everyone on its wish list, it has been close. The most recent commitment though is a tad more depressing than most and a bit surprising.
Justin Hill is a four-star edge rusher in the Buckeye backyard of Cincinnati, Ohio. The consensus top 65 player in the country was expected by most to choose Ohio State, but unfortunately the Winton Woods product chose the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Hill had his choice of schools narrowed down to four and in addition to Alabama and Ohio State, included Oregon and USC. He visited all four universities during the month of June, but most Ohio State pundits expressed confidence in him becoming a Buckeye.
Despite signing day being right around the corner, the class of 2025 stud still has time to reconsider and stay home.
