What Clark Phillips' Commitment Means for Ohio State's 2020 Recruiting Class

Finding the right fit for your college football program isn't just about what happens on the field, but off it as well. Today, Ohio State added a key piece. How will that commitment impact the Buckeyes?

Ohio State earned the commitment of four-star cornerback Clark Phillips on Friday afternoon, as Phillips selected the Buckeyes over Notre Dame, Cal, UCLA and Oregon.

Phillips is rated as the No. 4 cornerback in the 2020 class and the No. 46 overall prospect.

This is what Phillips’ commitment means for Ohio State’s 2020 recruiting class.
