The combined number of days between in-state offensive tackles Jakob James and Trey Leroux’s respective commitments and their offers was three. Both tackles knew that when they got their Ohio State offers, they would be committing. Leroux waited just a few days to discuss with his family, while James only waited a few hours before committing the same day.
“I got the offer and then three days later, I committed,” Leroux said. “That’s because my family had already talked about it. If Ohio State offered, what would happen? My family made that decision a long time ago that Ohio State was one of my top choices.
