The Buckeyes bring him back the weekend of May 29 for his official visit and look to hold off Tennessee among others for his signature.”
The battle for the No. 10 player nationally and No. 2 running back, according to 247 Sports Composite, and it’s a battle between the Buckeyes and Tennessee. The Vols are the home state team with Gabriel Georges playing in Tennessee, but it’s a great development that he has the best relationship with the Ohio State running backs coach.

Ohio State has the momentum but official visits this summer will be crucial. Expect Ohio State to get the talented running back on campus in May or June.
