Jaelen Gill was one of the crown jewels of Ohio State's 2018 recruiting class.
The four-star all-purpose back had an impressive offer list that included Florida, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas, USC and a host of others. But Gill, a Westerville, Ohio native, knew he wanted to play for the Buckeyes and committed almost a full year before national signing day.
Rated the No. 30 overall prospect in the country and second-best all-purpose back, Gill had the skillset to contribute in his first season. His ability to line up in the backfield or split out wide was on full display throughout his high school career.
