Today is early signing day for football recruits and the Buckeyes are expected to do very well today indeed.
A total of 21 players are expected to sign letters of intent today. If they do, OSU is expected to have at worst the second-rated class in the country just slightly behind Alabama who is expected to sign 22 players today.
OSU Head Coach Ryan Day will participate in a Zoom conference later today to discuss the class. We will have more at that time.
