The Ohio State Buckeyes are turning up the heat on the recruiting trail before fall practice starts, and it's already paying dividends. Here's all the latest news and rumors surrounding Ohio State's recruiting efforts:
Okudah to visit Columbus next week

“I want to get another feel there,” Okudah said, via 247sports. “The last time I went there I wasn’t really in a commit stage. I was kind of trying to take everything in so maybe next time I come up there I can kind of soak things in more, see if I can see myself there for the next three or four years.”
Okudah is ranked as the top safety and No. 7 overall prospect in the country.
