The Buckeye Weekly Podcast Buckeye Huddle Podcast Network

The Buckeyes have struck again in the state of Alabama with the commitment of Zion Grady. The 6-foot-4 defensive end recently took an official visit to Ohio State and must have liked what he saw as he followed it up in relatively short order with a commitment.

Grady is a consensus top-100 player and one of the best out of the state of Alabama. Make no mistake, this one is a big deal as both Alabama and Auburn both had offered Grady.

Ohio State beat out Auburn, Florida State, Miami (Fla.), and Tennessee, all schools that had welcomed Grady on campus for official visits along with Ohio State.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the impact of Grady's commitment, what other defensive linemen could join the class, and then the guys answer viewer questions live. 

In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, hosts Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr dive into an exciting range of topics around Ohio State athletics. They provide insights on a huge recruitment weekend for the Ohio State football program, highlighting key visitors like offensive tackle David Sanders and cornerbacks Dorian Brew and Na'eem Offord.

Discussions also cover the likelihood of these recruits joining the team and the impact of potential commitments. Tune in for an in-depth look at Ohio State's recruiting strategies and official visits this crucial weekend.

Note: This show was recorded prior to the commitment of wide receiver Bodpegn Miller.
