Cade Denhoff, a four-star DE target, has committed to Clemson over Ohio State

The Ohio State Buckeyes were not able to get a visit from four-star SDE Cade Denhoff before he committed to the Clemson Tigers.

This stings.

Four-star defensive end Cade Denhoff, an Ohio State target, is headed to Clemson. Denhoff was also targeted by LSU, Alabama, Penn State, and many other top-tier programs.

Denhoff was the Class of 2021’s seventh-ranked strongside defensive end according to 247Sports. Thankfully for Ohio State, they already have the top-ranked SDE, Jack Sawyer, inbound.

However, at the same time, combining Denhoff and Sawyer could’ve helped Ohio State easily boast the most dominant defensive line in college football. But, that’s now just a pipe dream.

What made Ohio State different than the rest of the bunch was the fact that the interest was mutual.

Denhodd, according to 247 Sports’ Bucknuts, was planning to visit Ohio State in January or February, making his early decision even more saddening for Ohio State faithful.

The Buckeyes have nine players already committed from the Class of 2021. With the No. 2 class in the nation, they’re only trailing Denhoff’s new home, Clemson who has two more four-star recruits.
