There’s still the latter and customary official signing day that’s still to take place in February, but for all intents and purposes, the Ohio State football program has the guys its bringing in for the 2020 class already signed and committed.
An unprecedented fourteen players reported to Columbus over this past weekend as early enrollees looking to get a jump on their college career, and the red carpet was figuratively rolled out to welcome the new crop of recruits. Of course, the main man looking to welcome new members of Buckeye Nation was none other than head coach Ryan Day.
“This is the beginning of a journey for you guys,” said Day. “A lot of stars have to align for you guys to be in the situations you’re in right here. So as you guys come in, you step into this situation — you chose Ohio State for a reason. And so with that come great expectations. You’re part of a special family of coaches, you’re part of a special family of the whole entire staff, and a campus that really cares about you. And that’s what makes this place great, are the people. The culture is as good as it’s ever been here before. This right here — this class — you guys are the foundation of what we are moving forward. And so with that, come high expectations.”
Watch as he talks to the group of fantastic football players and people that made it to campus to start class and begin workouts on the banks of the Olentangy. The video is courtesy of the official Twitter feed of Ohio State Football.
