Ohio State wins tug-of-war with Michigan for DE Zach Harrison

Ohio State landed a huge piece to its 2019 recruiting class Wednesday when five-star defensive end Zach Harrison committed to the Buckeyes.

Harrison, a 6-foot-6, 244-pound lineman, chose Ohio State over Michigan and Penn State and is now the highest-ranked commit in the class for the Buckeyes.

The commitment is a big deal for Ohio State, which fended off rival Michigan for the talented prospect, especially after the Wolverines seemingly had the upper hand for quite a bit of Harrison's recruitment.

He is also the top-ranked recruit from the state of Ohio and had he not chosen the Buckeyes, it would have been the second No.
