If you had asked me a little over two months ago where Jordan Battle would be playing college football, I probably wouldn’t have said Ohio State. After the Buckeyes accepted commitments from Ronnie Hickman and Bryson Shaw, it seemed that they had moved on from Battle, and decided to go in a different direction.
Battle had been scheduled to visit for Ohio State’s spring game, but when he attended Miami’s spring game rather than travel to Columbus, the writing seemed to be on the wall. However, Ohio State flipped the script in the beginning of May, and pushed for a Battle visit in June.
