Chris Holtmann pledged to keep the top prospects in the state to Ohio, and him making that a priority has begun to pay off in the 2021 recruiting class.
The Buckeyes picked up a commitment from four-star guard Meechie Johnson on Tuesday.
Johnson, a 6-foot, 155-pound guard from Garfield Heights, is the No. 71 overall prospect and the third-ranked Ohioan in the 2021 recruiting class. He joins four-star power forward Kalen Etzler as the second member of the Buckeyes' 2021 class. Etzler committed to Ohio State on May 12.
