There are a few positions that [autotag]Ohio State football[/autotag] is looking to round out its 2024 recruiting class, defensive end being one of those.
The Buckeyes have just one commit at the position, and he’s a good one, 5-star edge Eddrick Houston. Two other commits on the defensive line are most likely interior players in 5-star Justin Scott, and 3-star Eric Mensah.
The OSU coaching staff would love to add at least one more and it looks like they have found a target in Texas native [autotag]Carlon Jones[/autotag]. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 270-pound end committed to Nebraska at then end of June, but now Ohio State has entered the picture with an offer.
