The 2024 safety recruiting for Ohio State is starting to take shape.
As reported earlier today, Georgia’s KJ Bolden has now set a commitment date. On Saturday, another target, Jordon Johnson-Rubell, made his verbal commitment to Texas.
The Buckeye coaching staff will know how hard it has to go after other recruits on their safety board after Bolden makes his choice, but they are already setting themselves up with others.
Florida safety, Zaquan Patterson, who goes to the same high school as current wide receiver commit Jeremiah Smith, will make an official visit this fall according to this report by 247Sports Bill Kurelic (subscription required).
