Friday Night Fix: Pair of 2021 Commits Begin Seasons, Week 3 for Other Ohio Natives
Two out-of-state commits for the Buckeyes join ten others from the 2021 classes currently playing high school football not just in Ohio, but across the country.
A pair of 2021 defensive back commits in Jantzen Dunn (Bowling Green, Ky.) and Andre Turrentine (Nashville, Tenn.) are set to open their senior seasons tonight.
Dunn, while recruited by Ohio State as a safety, will line up as a receiver for South Warren High School after leading the team with six touchdown catches last year. Turrentine's game for Ensworth at CPA (2-0) was selected as one of the best happening in all of Tennessee.
