Ohio State commit named U.S. Army Bowl MVP

What a game from the OSU tight end commit. #GoBucks

Barring too many surprises when the early signing period opens on Wednesday, the Ohio State football program is set to sign another stellar recruiting class — most likely be another top five one.

While there are plenty of young men we’ll be hearing about in the not-too-distant future donning the scarlet and gray, it’s always nice to get a peek at what some of these high school guys can do when dropped into situations where they are going against similar talent.

We had one such case on Monday night when Ohio State’s four-star tight end commit, Damarion Witten, took part in the U.S. Army Bowl. Ranked as the No. 28 tight end and No. 454 recruit overall in the country according to the 247Sports composite, Witten committed to Ohio State on June 24.

Though his team lost rather convincingly, 62-37, Witten had quite the game, catching four passes for 96 yards and three touchdowns. It was enough for him to be named bowl MVP.

Three Ohio State commits played in Monday night’s game, but others are scheduled to suit up in two other All-American bowls: the All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas, on Jan. 6, and the Under Armour All-American Bowl set to take place in Orlando, Florida, on Jan. 3.

LSU QB commit shows out during U.S. Army Bowl

Here is a reminder that the Tigers are adding a quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class from high school, as well.

With all the talk about LSU’s quarterback room with the addition of [autotag]AJ Swann[/autotag] from the transfer portal, here is a reminder that the Tigers are adding a quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class from high school as well.

[autotag]Colin Hurley[/autotag] is a 6-foot, 213-pound, four-star quarterback from Jacksonville, Florida, where he plays for Trinity Christian Academy. Hurley led the Conquerors to a 9-4 record and a loss to Clearwater Central Catholic in the third round of the playoffs.

Hurley played as a quarterback on the Black team in the U.S. Army bowl last night and he had an incredible game. I do not have any official stats, but the videos below are proof of the multiple touchdown passes he threw against the Gold team.

Hurley was previously a member of the 2025 recruiting class until he re-classified to 2024 and committed to LSU. He is expected to sign with the Tigers on early signing day and be on campus next month.
