New Ohio State defensive end Logan George remembers exactly where he was when he received the phone call that would change his life.
George was on his way to dinner with his family, then looked down to see Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson giving him a ring. On that brief call, Johnson pitched George on the idea of continuing his development in Columbus and that he could refine his technique as a run stopper and pass rusher.
The 6-foot-4, 249-pound lineman who left Idaho State because of a coaching change had already been one of the most coveted transfers on the market, receiving interest from Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Missouri, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
