Ohio State did a great job of winning both on and off the field on Saturday.
Ohio State · Buffalo · WisconsinThe Buckeyes beat up on Maryland 45-16 behind a strong defensive effort and big plays from Jeremiah Smith and Bo Jackson, and all the while the coaching staff was playing host to a plethora of big time recruits. One of those guys was 2027 linebacker James Conrad , a Cleveland native out of St. Ignatius currently committed to Buffalo.
Blessed to receive an offer from Ohio State!!! Conrad held 13 offers to his name prior to Ohio State joining the mix, but the Buckeyes are his first P4 offer.
The 6-foot-3 linebacker has started to turn heads with an impressive senior campaign, and James Laurinaitis has clearly taken notice. It appears that interest is mutual as well.
Conrad had been committed to the Bisons since June, but the 'emotional' offer as he put it may be too good to pass up. Ohio State sent out a pair of new offers to 2027 prospects over the weekend, looking to flip a LB from Buffalo and a stud RB committed to Wisconsin
