Ohio State loses out on four-star linebacker Raesjon Davis

Raesjon Davis loved his visit to Ohio State, but ultimately chose to stay closer to home.

Four-star linebacker, Raesjon Davis has made his college decision, and, unfortunately, it wasn’t the news Ohio State fans were hoping for. Davis picked Southern Cal to spend his days playing college football.

This doesn’t come as too much of a surprise. Almost all of the experts believed the Mater Dei High School standout was all but a lock for the Trojans. Of course, there was a spark of hope after Davis and his family took an unofficial visit to Columbus and gave rave reviews of their visit.

Ultimately, Davis decided to stay closer to home, something he had said was important to him after decommitting from LSU in late fall. Davis made his intentions known live on CBS Sports HQ this morning.

This gives USC and coach Clay Helton another big catch in their 2021 class, which sits seventh nationally according to 247 Sports.
