It’s not like Ohio State wasn’t in the running for five-star defensive lineman Justin Scott, but it sure seemed like the Buckeyes weren’t going to do quite enough at the end to land the talented 2024 prospect out of Chicago.
That changed on Sunday, however, when Scott announced his commitment to defensive line coach Larry Johnson and the Buckeyes ahead of Michigan, Georgia, Miami (FL) and Notre Dame.
Social media was abuzz — and most notably Twitter — after the commitment and we’re here to share some of the best celebrations and posts with you. Here’s a look at some of the best tweets from around Buckeye Nation (and beyond) in response to Scott’s commitment.

Still work to do, but yeah ...
Ohio State is in position to land the 2024 cycle‘s best defensive line group, maybe the best linebacker group and defensive backfield group as anyone in the nation.
Big steps left to take adding Justin Scott is as big a piece as there could be to making that happen.
