The Ohio State football program got a huge BOOM! of a commitment on Sunday when the best prospect in Ohio, 4-star 2024 cornerback, Aaron Scott Jr, announced his commitment to the Buckeyes.
The news has a lot of impacts, not the least of which is a stiff arm to Michigan’s recruiting efforts to land the in-state recruit. It was a long, thought-out process for Scott, and Buckeye Nation was awfully excited that one of the best cornerbacks in the country decided to stay home rather than defect.
Scott adds to an already fantastic 2024 OSU recruiting class that still has a chance to land some pretty big fish still out there before the early signing period in December.
We decided to grab some of the best social media reactions to Scott picking Ohio State over Michigan and Oregon to share them for your reading pleasure.
Happy scrolling … and happy celebrating along with everyone.
The announcement on social media that set everything off

A pretty good troll here at Michigan when Scott picked Ohio State. He had us worried.
Aaron Scott had one of the more entertaining Ohio State commitment announcements I can remember, complete with smoke effects and faking out the room he was going to Michigan. pic.twitter.com/Xdg4jRKRnd
