Ryan Day inherited a monster of a program, and he appears destined to keep it in the upper echelon of college football.
One of the main reasons he has impressed to such a degree in just his second full year as Ohio State’s head coach is his maintaining of the program’s status as a recruiting behemoth. The Buckeyes’ ability to bring in top-flight talent didn’t experience a drop-off whatsoever when Urban Meyer retired.
Day landed the fifth-ranked 2020 recruiting class a year ago, and on Wednesday he signed 21 prospects to what’s currently the second-best class in the 2021 cycle, per the 247Sports composite rankings.
