It’s perhaps the largest recruiting weekend of the 2020 cycle for Ohio State (though that’s hard to say without in season visits scheduled yet), and it’s starting off with one of the biggest booms imaginable. Just moments ago, Ohio State secured a commitment from four-star cornerback Clark Phillips.
While landing a top cornerback like Phillips in June is obviously a pretty massive deal for the Ohio State defensive staff that had, to this point, just two defensive commitments, the focus here shouldn’t be exclusively on Phillips as a number in a class. Phillips is an elite, top level cornerback talent, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he jumps into the five star ranks by the end of this cycle.
