Joenel Aguero Considers Ohio State “One of His Top Schools,” Desmond Ricks Hoping for Offer and Two More Recruits to Attend Saturday's Game

After playing two high school games in Ohio in back-to-back weeks, 2023 five-star safety Joenel Aguero still has Ohio State on his mind.

“They’re probably one of my top schools right now,” Aguero told Eleven Warriors on Aug. 29. “I like (defensive backs) coach Matt Barnes and really the whole coaching staff.”

Aguero listed OSU in his top 12 schools in early July and visited the Buckeyes on June 12. Since his visit to Columbus, he has maintained a close dialogue with Barnes.

“(He’s) just teaching me the game,” Aguero said. “He’s not just trying to recruit me, he’s trying to teach me and recruit me at the same time, so I feel like that’s a good thing.
