Four-star 2021 defensive end from Ohio includes Buckeyes in top five schools

Four-star Ohio 2021 defensive end Najee Story includes Ohio State in his top five schools.

Ohio State is in the top five of another highly sought-after recruit. Najee Story, out of Solon, Ohio, is rated as the No. 19 stong-side defensive end, and ninth-best recruit in the state according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. And he just placed the Buckeyes in his top five schools announced Monday.

OSU is already putting together one whale of a 2021 class, and adding Story to it would further bolster the seventeen members that have already committed to what is by and far the top class in the country to date.

Ohio State already has two defensive ends in the class however, and we’ll have to see where the priorities start to shake out with a class that is getting closer to complete than not.

He’s an Ohio kid though, and Day has stressed keeping the best players in the state. Story would definitely qualify. Northwestern, Penn State, Minnesota, and Tennessee are the other four included in his top five.
