By: Eric Singer
Posted on:
Wednesday marks perhaps the most important day in the world of college football: National Signing Day.
It’s also one of the craziest and most stressful days of the year for the coaches, as they hold their breath to hang on to certain recruits, as well as hope their last-minute pitches could help swing some late commitments.
We will break down Ohio’s latest recruiting class as the signees become official, keeping you updated on all of the newest Bobcats. So keep it on this page throughout the day Wednesday for everything you need to know.
