Dematha Catholic Four-Star Defensive End Chase Young Commits to Ohio State

The Buckeyes signed a pair of the nation's top defensive ends a few months ago. At Friday Night Lights, they've added one of the country's best to their already top-ranked 2017 recruiting class.

Chase Young, who hails from Maryland's powerhouse DeMatha Catholic program, committed to Ohio State.

For the last couple months, the 6-foot-5, 220-pounder has spent a significant amount of time in Columbus as well as nearby College Park. The Buckeyes had previously been mentioned as a contender for Young, but there really wasn't a lot of chatter until after he made the trip to campus during the first week of April for the Student Appreciation Day festivities.
