It’s blackout week for the Ohio State football team as Wisconsin comes to town for a prime-time showdown. Keeping with the black theme, another Buckeye lost his black stripe: Defensive lineman Hero Kanu was officially welcomed to the brotherhood on Thursday.
Originally from Germany, Kanu played his high school football in California and was somewhat of a late bloomer. He had only played two years of football. He committed to OSU as the No. 18 defensive lineman in the 2022 class with Ohio State coaches believing he has enormous upside.
With some time under the tutelage of Larry Johnson, Kanu could become the next great defensive lineman to wear scarlet and gray. Check out what he had to say after hearing the news.
