One of Ohio State’s remaining top targets in the recruiting class of 2021 has decided to play his college football elsewhere. At 6-foot, 175 pounds, Troy Stellato was rated as the No. 22 receiver and 125th overall recruit in the entire class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
Despite the loss, the Buckeyes remain in great shape at the position and the writing seemed to be on the wall with this one anyway. The Buckeyes brought in one of the best receiver classes in the history of the program last year, and have more in the fold with two top 100 recruits already verbally committed in the class with Marvin Harrison, Jr. and Jayden Ballard — both four-stars in their own right.
The Depth at the position already in Columbus may have swayed Stellato to pick Clemson over Ohio State and the great relationship he had with Brian Hartline.

Either way, it’s onward and upward and there’s still plenty of big-time targets that Ohio State remains in play on with the 2021 class. However, Clemson is closing the gap just a wee-bit and has now moved up to No. 2 in the 247Sports Team Composite Rankings.
The race is on.
