PICKERINGTON – Jack Sawyer already planned to call Ryan Day Saturday evening.
He had to leave his unofficial visit to Ohio State earlier that day in order to head back home to prepare for Pickerington North’s basketball game against Scott later that night. The five-star defensive end whom Ohio State’s football program badly wanted as a foundation of its 2021 recruiting class is one of the area’s top basketball players, as well, and Day wanted to hear how the latest game went, so Sawyer told him he’d let him know.
Day got a completely different call, though.
