Buckeyes Commit Aaron Scott Trolls Wolverines During Announcement
Ohio State football had a successful recruiting weekend with the commitment of four-star corner Aaron Scott. Scott is an important in-state recruit that Ryan Day & Co. worked hard to land, especially considering one of the other programs he was considering was TTUN.
What might make Buckeyes fans even more proud of his commitment, is the way he handled it during his live stream announcement.
Scott had three hats on the table in front of him, and the first one - the Oregon Ducks - was cast aside very quickly. That left just Ohio State and Michigan hats in front of him. Scott then grabbed the Buckeyes hat and set it aside, giving the impression Michigan was his choice.
But the Springfield, Ohio native was just kidding, as he picked up the Michigan hat, grabbed a Wolverines backpack, and pulled out a Buckeyes football jersey and put it on to indicate his real choice.
During Scott's junior season at Springfield High School, he had 21 tackles, three for loss, five interceptions — two of which he returned for touchdowns — and a fumble recovery.
The 6-0, 170-pound cornerback also plays basketball and runs track and field.
Ohio State's recruiting class of 2024 is now the second best in the country behind Georgia, as the Buckeyes have six top-50 overall prospects in wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Mylan Graham, defensive lineman Justin Scott, quarterback Air Noland, West and Aaron Scott, according to On3.
In the Buckeyes' offense-heavy recruiting class of 2024, Ohio State now holds seven commitments on defense and has the chance to add on in the cycle.
