In a move that seemed to catch all the recruiting experts off guard, MSU received a surprising bit of good news on Tuesday night with the commitment of Ohio safety A.J. Kirk Jr. to the 2021 Class via Instagram.
Kirk hails from Columbus, Ohio where he attends Archbishop Hoban High School. He is considered an “under the radar” recruit due in part to his apparent low profile on social media. He is currently rated as a three-star recruit by both 247Sports and Rivals.com, but his offer list and bloodline suggest that he might be a diamond in the rough.
