Ohio State target sets commitment date for Fourth of July

Ohio State football is in the running to earn a commitment from a four-star edge rusher in the class of 2025, but we won’t find out where he will be playing until Independence Day. The timeline of the Damien Shanklin decision is interesting, considering he originally moved his commitment date from September to August, then July 5, and finally on a national holiday.

The Indiana native has narrowed his decision down to three powerhouse programs in Alabama, LSU, and of course, Ohio State. At first glance, one would consider the Buckeyes to be the favorite considering Shanklin is from a northern location, but we know that’s not always true.

Shanklin is a consensus top 50 player in the country and someone who many believe can be an impact player at the next level. It will be a commitment to monitor.
