One of Ohio State's biggest recruiting weekends of the year brought with it a heavy number of big-name targets from both the 2020 and 2021 classes.
None was bigger than CJ Stroud.
Ryan Day has made it clear he wants a deep quarterback room, and with only two scholarship quarterbacks set to be on the roster next year, adding only Jack Miller will not be enough. That's why this weekend was so crucial.
Stroud, visiting from California on his own dime, was one of the first recruits onto the field Saturday, walking through the tunnel and onto the turf alongside his personal quarterback trainer Quincy Avery, who trained both Justin Fields and Dwayne Haskins.
