Although Ohio State football signed twenty-one prospects during the early signing period, they may not be done add to the 2024 recruiting class.
In-state defensive end Dominic Kirks decommitted from Washington on Friday, after seeing head coach Kalen DeBoer leave to take over the Alabama program after Nick Saban retired.
The Buckeyes had been in contact with the 6-foot, 4-inch and 255-pound lineman, but he held firm in his pledge to the Huskies. That clearly has changed and the temptation to stay home and play in front of his family increased for the No. 33 defensive lineman and 251st overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
According to a report by On3, Kirks will make an official visit to Columbus starting on Saturday.

Ohio State signed just two defensive lineman, and they clearly wanted to add another. Kirks has now jumped to the top of the list.
