It’s been a week since Bijan Robinson notified Ohio State he would be looking elsewhere for his commitment after being a near lock for the Buckeyes 2020 class and since Jaylan Knighton was swayed by Florida State. Both of those backs are now committed, and while Ohio State won’t surrender to those commitments, the staff went back to the drawing board and began contacting nearly every running back it had developed a progressing relationship with before feeling like they’d gotten both Robinson and Knighton.
After the week that seemed like it would never end for the Buckeyes, there are another couple of running backs that look to be moving into those roles Ohio State has been looking to fill since last Sunday.
