Even though I’d like to believe Ryan Day reads my content, I know he doesn’t.
What I do know is we both see a need at offensive tackle, especially considering the potential for both tackles, Paris Johnson Jr. and Dawand Jones, to move to the next level after this season.
At minimum, one of the two will leave early. And with not much experience behind them, Day pulled the trigger on former Rhode Island offensive tackle Ajani Cornelius and offered him a scholarship. The lineman checks in at 6 feet, 4 inches and 320 pounds. He is getting interest from a good number of Power Five programs, including Oregon, Nebraska, Tennessee, Boston College and Illinois.
Blessed to say I’ve received an offer from The Ohio State University@ryandaytime @CoachJFrye @CoachReedLive pic.twitter.com/tAAYvyXHyC

The next step for the Buckeyes is getting Cornelius on campus, something Oregon did this past weekend. Hopefully Day can get that visit soon to show Cornelius what Ohio State has to offer.
