Auburn, Florida State and Clemson have made some pretty big splashes so far on signing day, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s never count out Ohio State -- the only team in the northern half of the U.S. who continues to recruit at an SEC level year in and year out.
And, today, Brutus got their big-splash signee with five-star linebacker Curtis Grant from Hermitage H.S. (VA).
Grant was also seriously considering Florida, Virginia and North Carolina, although Florida was noticeably absent from the often self-indulgent, hat-on-table finalist list.
But the highly regarded linebacker was actually the second of two “Grant” players to sign with the Buckeyes today. Doran Grant, a home-state defensive back, also committed.
