2021 Washington Defensive End J.T. Tuimoloau Sets Official Visit To Ohio State
As first reported by Buckeye Scoop and since confirmed by BuckeyesNow, Sammamish (Wash.) Eastside Catholic five-star defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau will take his long-awaited official visit to Ohio State on June 18-20.
The 6-foot-5 and 277-pound Tuimoloau just wrapped up his senior season, which was postponed to the spring due to the coronavirus pandemic, and now he’ll embark on a busy summer schedule that will also see him take official visits to Alabama, Oregon, USC and Washington.
Tuimoloau, who is considered the second-best strong side defensive end and No. 2 overall player in the class of 2021, has never been to Columbus but has been able to build a strong bond with head coach Ryan Day and defensive line coach Larry Johnson from afar.
The Buckeyes have long been viewed as the favorite for Tuimoloau given his relationship with sophomore tight end Gee Scott – his former high school teammate – and freshman wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, another Washington native. But he also keeps things relatively close to the vest, and the looming visits will ultimately make or break his recruitment.
