Kerry Coombs, welcome back to Columbus.
Even with the coronavirus taking over the world (temporarily) and stopping all recruiting, Coombs is working his magic.
And his first trick happened on Sunday as four-star defensive back Jakailin (J.K.) Johnson pledges his verbal commitment to the Buckeyes, via Twitter.
Johnson, who attends De Semt High School in St. Louis, Missouri, is currently ranked as the No. 4 DB in the class of 2021 and No. 59 overall in the country according to 247Sports.
He is now the second player to be added in the secondary in the class of 2021 (Cincinnati La Salle’s Jaylen Johnson), and the 10th overall commitment to the class.

Additionally holding offers from other programs like Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia, Oregon, Florida and Notre Dame, Coombs managed to pick up where former Ohio State secondary coach, now-Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley left off to get his guy.
Let the long hashtags begin. BOOM!
