For the first time in the history of 247Sports' recruiting rankings — which began in 2010 — an Ohioan stands above the rest.
The recruiting service updated its rankings for the Class of 2019 on Thursday, putting Olentangy Orange five-star defensive end Zach Harrison as it's new No.1 prospect. He replaced California five-star defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux.
In a great year for defensive ends, Harrison separates himself with his unique frame, freakish athleticism (verified 4.62 40-yard dash, 36-inch vertical) and film to match. He's still raw and there is a lot of room for growth as a player, but we're happy to be on someone with those physical traits.
