Cincinnati tight end Joe Royer received an offer from Ohio State on Friday, he announced via Twitter. Both he and in-state tight end Luke Lachey were at Ohio State’s one-day camp Thursday in what seemed to be a battle for the offer, though there was a slim chance they both could have received one.
Lachey was called and told that he was not receiving an Ohio State offer, but he congratulated Royer on Twitter anyway. The two had never met before Thursday.
Congrats Joe!! https://t.co/fVXitfTDPw

Now, the Buckeyes’ in-state focus turns to Royer, who attends the same high school, Elder High School, as current Ohio State commit Jakob James.
