Black stripe alert! Ohio State has had as much success as anyone going into the deep south and luring some of the nation’s best to head north to Columbus. One of those from the 2023 class, Kayden McDonald, has been impressive during fall camp and has lost his black stripe.
McDonald is a Georgia native who grew up near Athens, home to the Georgia Bulldogs. However, the Dawgs were not a finalist in his recruitment.
