Ohio State has secured the future of one of its most critical support staffers.
General manager Mark Pantoni has come to terms on a new contract with the Buckeyes, a source confirmed to Eleven Warriors. The deal will make him one of the highest-paid GMs in college football, per On3.
Now in his 14th season at Ohio State, Pantoni has been the architect of 247Sports composite top-10 recruiting classes each of those years except for 2019, when the Buckeyes were transitioning from Urban Meyer to Ryan Day.
Pantoni also oversees the program's administrative efforts in the transfer portal.
