Moments ago, Ohio State did something that is becoming a habit for this years recruiting cycle — they landed a verbal commitment from a blue-chip prospect. This time it was ‘18 OLB Dallas Gant of St. John’s Jesuit (OH), the 126th highest graded player in the class, who decided he will be making the short trek down to Columbus from Toledo to ultimately become a Buckeye at the next level.
Gant, the fifth best outside linebacker in the class, is a long-time target for the program and the Scarlet and Gray wound up outlasting schools like Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Penn State for his commitment.
