As if the talent in the wide receiver room wasn’t already deep and talented enough, Brian Hartline and the Ohio State football program landed yet another high-profile pass-catcher on Sunday with the commitment of four-star prospect Jeremiah McClellan.
McClellan had been leaning OSU’s way and chose the Buckeyes over Oregon and Missouri. The decision only enhances the Buckeyes’ grip on being considered the current “Wide Receiver U” in the country. McClellan makes 21 pledges for the 2024 class, which is No. 2 in the country on the 247Sports team composite.
As usual, Ohio State social media — namely X, formerly known as Twitter — was quick with celebratory reactions to commemorate another big-time prospect selecting the banks of the Olentangy to call home for the next few years.
Here are some of the best reactions.
