It wasn’t much of a surprise, but four-star 2021 offensive tackle Garrett Dellinger out of Clarkston, MI announced his commitment to LSU Wednesday.
Dellinger had originally included the Buckeyes in his final four schools that also included Michigan and Penn State, but in the end, it was the relationships he built at LSU that swayed the 6-foot, 5-inch, 280-pound lineman. According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Dellinger was ranked as the No. 12 offensive tackle, and 79th overall prospect in the entire class.
It wasn’t a target that Ohio State was pursuing as hard as some of the others, and the loss isn’t as nearly stinging as the J.C. Latham one last week, but it’s still another recruit choosing another school here as of late. At this point, OSU could use a little good news in the recruiting department as it’s now been since May 24th since we’ve gotten a Boom!
Still, OSU has the nation’s best class so far according to almost every single website and metric out there and these things seem to happen in bunches at times.

As always, we wish this kid well, just not if he ends up playing Ohio State.
