After Gameday Visit to Ohio State, Father of Five-star Cornerback AJ Harris Feels His Son Would “Be Taken Care Of” in Columbus

There’s no higher priority at cornerback for Ohio State’s recruiting class of 2023 than landing AJ Harris.

The five-star defensive back and Alabama resident visited Columbus with his mother and father this past weekend, taking in Ohio State's 66-17 victory against Maryland.

AJ's father, Daniel Harris, spent a few minutes on the phone with Eleven Warriors Monday to answer a few questions about Harris' recruitment and how the Ohio State visit went. Topics discussed ranged from the visit itself to the elder Harris' previous concern over AJ's lack of a relationship with defensive backs coach Matt Barnes, considering Barnes has taken over play-calling duties from Harris' primary recruiter, defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs, and Coombs' future with the team seems murky at best.
