One of Ohio State’s priority targets for the 2023 class is set to make a decision.
Four-star Ohio safety Malik Hartford will announce his commitment Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at Lakota West High School.
The 6-foot-3, 175-pound Hartford will choose from a list of seven finalists that consists of Ohio State, Cincinnati, Michigan, Notre Dame, West Virginia, Kentucky and Michigan State. Less than a week before Hartford tells the world his decision, the Buckeyes are in great shape to land the 154th-ranked player and the 11th-best safety in the 2023 class, per 247Sports’ composite rankings.
