In addition to 2023 four-star defensive lineman Jalen Thompson, Ohio State hosted another prospect last week once the recruiting dead period lifted.
Three-star 2024 three-star Florida offensive lineman Jake Guarnera made his first visit to Columbus on July 27, getting a more personal experience because he was the only recruit on campus. He toured the facilities, met with academic and player development personnel and of course offensive line coach Justin Frye. He finished his visit with a photoshoot, a campus tour and a stadium tour.
It was Guarnera’s first team meeting Frye, as quarterback coach Corey Dennis had been his primary recruiter up until that point because he had visited Guarnera’s high school in the spring.
