After recently locking up numerous commitments, Ryan Day and the Ohio State football squad kept their momentum on the trail alive on Saturday by picking up a pledge from another prized prospect to their already stacked class of 2022. Committing to the Buckeyes during the national televised All-American Bowl, four-star defensive lineman Hero Kanu is now the 21st high school recruit to give Day and company their pledge.
Originally from Germany, the 6-foot-5, 293-pounder suits up for Santa Margarita Catholic (CA) on the high school level. Accumulating over 25 scholarship offers throughout the recruiting process while still learning the game, Kanu, the 18th-rated defensive lineman and 105th overall prospect in the entire class of 2022 according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, chose to continue his academic and athletic career at the Ohio State University over opportunities at programs such as Georgia, Notre Dame, and USC.
