The Ohio State football team is hoping to add another in-state product and keep the walls around the Ohio border secure. The Buckeyes will find out their fate with four-star safety, Malik Hartford who will make his decision on Wednesday, April 6, live on CBSSports.
Hartford is rated as the No. 11 safety in the country by 247Sports composite rankings for the 2023 class. All signs look good for OSU with five crystal ball predictions in favor of the scarlet and gray. Things are never certain until a player is signed, however, at this point, it would be a surprise to see him land anywhere else.
The Cincinnati native will make the announcement from his Lakota West High School at 3:30 p.m. EST with family and friends cheering him on.

Should Hartford put on an Ohio State hat, he would become the sixth member of the 2023 class that is currently ranked No. 7 in the nation. He would also be the second safety to commit to the Buckeyes, joining the No. 22 safety, Cedrick Hawkins, from Cocoa, Florida.
