Arvell Reese Says He Committed to Ohio State Early Because He “Felt Like It Was the Right Time for Me”

AKRON – When Glenville linebacker Arvell Reese ended his recruitment on Aug. 6 and became the 20th commitment in Ohio State’s 2023 recruiting class, it caught a lot of people off guard.

Including his own high school teammate, Bryce West.

West, a four-star cornerback in the 2024 class and one of Ohio State’s top targets in that cycle, said he learned of Reese’s commitment at the same time everyone else did after he checked Twitter on that Saturday evening.

“I was actually excited,” West said of Reese’s commitment.
