What Dallan Hayden's Commitment Means for Ohio State's 2022 Recruiting Class

Another talented tailback is coming to Columbus.

Four-star Memphis tailback Dallan Hayden committed to Ohio State today, giving Tony Alford his first pledge for the 2022 class. The Buckeyes are coming off a 2020 running back haul that included five-star TreVeyon Henderson and four-star Evan Pryor. Needless to say, the room is going to be in good hands for quite some time.

While he's not rated as highly as the 2020 duo, Hayden has been a guy that Alford locked in on fairly early in the recruiting cycle. He earned a scholarship offer nearly 10 months ago.
