Just because we’re in the middle of basketball season, doesn’t mean our ears can’t perk up when we hear some football news. While the basketball Buckeyes are getting it done on the hardwood, the Ohio State football team is continuing to make waves in the 2022 recruiting cycle.
We told you earlier about Walter Nolen, the nation’s No. 1 defensive tackle who has trimmed his list and kept the Buckeyes in the top-ten. Now another top talent has also cut his list to ten and again we see that beautiful scarlet and gray.
Austin Jordan is a four-star cornerback from the state of Texas. The Buckeyes got in early on Jordan offering him all the way back in 2019. If the Bucks are to land Jordan, they’ll have to beat out a who’s who of blue bloods. Outside of OSU, the young corners list includes Texas, USC, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Georgia, Penn State, Texas A&M, and Auburn.

Ohio State already has verbal commitments from five-star cornerback Jaheim Singletary and four-star cornerback Jyaire Brown in the 2022 class. But can you ever have too many corners? Uhh… I don’t’ think so. Not at a place that calls itself B.I.A. (Best in America) for the defensive back position group.
