When 2018 five-star defensive end Micah Parsons decommitted from Penn State in April, many industry insiders crystal balled him to Ohio State.
The recruiting process, however, is a fickle mistress. Despite naming his dog Brutus, the Harrisburg, Penn. native has trended back towards the Nittany Lions in recent weeks with the NCAA's new Early Signing Period beginning Wednesday.
Colin Hass-Hill of The Lantern reported Tuesday morning that the Buckeyes agreed to stop recruiting Parsons after self-reported violations that occurred during his Sept. 9th official visit to Ohio State, in which he toured the ESPN College GameDay set and took pictures with the likes of former Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George.
