He is not the first Buckeyes to force him to forget his senior season of high school football. Uncertainty over the country due to the coronavirus pandemic has caused other recruits to make similar decisions.
The Buckeyes currently have the no. 1-ranked recruitment class for 2021.
Ohio State requires TreVeyon Henderson, the top-ranked recruiter back in class, lives in Hopewell, Virginia, where the state already has high school football after the spring. Henderson announced on July 19 that he would be preparing for an early registration.
Henderson has positioned himself by lifting workouts and weights with a coach while still doing individual football drills by himself. Henderson is joined in his decision by fellow Evan Pryor running back from North Carolina, tight end Sam Hart from Colorado and cornerback Jordan Hancock from Georgia.
Hancock announced that he would miss his senior season on August 3, but for a different reason than that of his future teammates. The ESPN 300 recruit tweeted that his mother was battling breast cancer and that his father had heart conditions.
“I love North Gwinnett and will never forget the precious memories I made with the community, the coaches and my brothers I call my teammates,” Hancock wrote on social media. “Memories that will resonate a life with me and the life of my family are the absolute most for me. I love the game of football, but this is not a time for me to be selfish and think about myself.”
