Ohio State Fought off Texas, Landed Columbus Native Garrett Wilson Despite Coaching Changes

The future stars of Ohio State football officially begin their college careers, as standouts from all over the country put pens to their National Letters of Intent.

Lake Travis five-star wide receiver Garrett Wilson was a top target of Ohio State's for a long time, but that was only amplified when the Buckeyes signed his teammate in the 2018 class, quarterback Matthew Baldwin.

Tasked with deciding between the only two homes he’s ever known, the five-star wide receiver and Dublin native Wilson committed to Ohio State over finalist Texas.

Wilson was first offered by Ohio State in December, just days after Baldwin committed to the Buckeyes.
