Eleven Incoming Ohio State Buckeyes Earn SI All-American Honors
Ohio State fans know the future is bright, even though they are still feeling the sting of a lop-sided national championship loss to Alabama on Monday night.
The good news for the Buckeyes is that even though they are inevitably going to lose some of their best players to the NFL Draft, they have a loaded class of incoming freshman that will back-fill the roster.
On Friday afternoon, SI All-American released it's final list in ranking the SI99, who they deem to be the top high school players in the country. The list began with 1,000 players and has dwindled down over the last few months.
Ohio State and Alabama each have 11 players on this list, while the Buckeyes are in contention to add two more with the pending commitments from defense lineman J.T. Tuimoloau and linebacker Raesjon Davis.
Watch the video above as I discuss the Class of 2021 with John Garcia from SI All-American and we break down why this class is so impressive.
Three (and perhaps four) of the top seven players in the country are all coming to Ohio State.
