4-Star DT Prospect Tyler Friday Commits to Ohio State over Michigan, Others

Tyler Friday added another big name to Ohio State's 2018 recruiting class Friday, as he announced his commitment to the Buckeyes, according to Cleveland.com's Bill Landis.

Friday, a 4-star defensive tackle, is the No. 86 overall prospect and fourth-ranked defensive tackle in 247Sports' rankings. He is ranked second among players from the state of New Jersey.

Listed at 6'3" and 263 lbs., Friday emerged as a defensive stalwart at New Jersey's Don Bosco Prep School. He was considered an early target of a number of Big Ten schools, including Michigan and Rutgers.

247Sports' predictions made the Wolverines an early favorite, with Rutgers coming in a close second.
