Ryan Day and the Ohio State football team have their quarterback for the 2023 class, or so it appears.
According to an announcement on Twitter Wednesday morning, four-star 2023 Washington commit Lincoln Kienholz has changed his verbal commitment from the Huskies to the Buckeyes. He had been committed to Washington since late June of this year but took an official visit to Ohio State on November 25 and rumors began to circulate that he was warming to the Buckeye program.
Out of T.F. Riggs High School in Pierre, South Dakota, the 6-foot, 3-inch, 185-pounder is ranked as the No. 13 quarterback and No. 172 overall prospect in the 2023 class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
Kienholz’s commitment fits a pretty big need for Ohio State since the Buckeyes lost out on the only other quarterback the Buckeyes had in the class when four-star Brock Glenn decommitted just prior to the Michigan game.
