A little more than a year after Ohio State landed its first 2018 commitment in the form of- running back Brian Snead at Friday Night Lights, the Buckeyes have continued their seemingly annual trend of kicking the next recruiting class off in early August. Earlier today, Huntington, four-star WV-native offensive tackle Doug Nester committed to Ohio State just over two weeks after visiting Columbus for FNL.
Nester has been expected to pick the Buckeyes, sooner rather than later, for weeks now, and it was his visit, among other things, that finally sold him on shutting down his recruitment and joining Ohio State’s 2019 class.
