Four-star Defensive End Kenyatta Jackson Jr. Gives Ohio State a Legitimate Pass Rushing Threat Defensively

It came down to a simple decision.

Ohio State, or Oklahoma?

Those two schools had been on four-star defensive end Kenyatta Jackson Jr.'s mind since late July, and the decision was always going to come down to those two schools, with his father, Kenyatta Jackson Sr., calling the decision "50-50."

On Oct. 19, Jackson Jr. went with his gut, becoming the first defensive lineman to commit to OSU in the 2022 cycle. He officially put his pen to paper on Wednesday, inking his National Letter of Intent, despite a late push from Miami to keep the Florida native in-state.
