Ohio State deals out offer to standout 2020 linebacker

Always keeping a close eye on the recruiting trail for top talent, the Ohio State football coaching staff have dealt out numerous scholarship offers to underclassman from across the country.

Picking up his offer from the Buckeyes late Wednesday night, four-star rated 2020 outside linebacker Justin Flowe Jr. adds Ohio State to what is becoming a rather stellar list of potential landing spots. With more than two years until he can sign on the dotted line with a program, the 6’3, 215-pound Upland, CA native holds around a dozen scholarship offers at the moment.

The Buckeyes now join the likes of Oklahoma, UCLA, USC, Penn State, Utah, and Washington State on the list of schools pursuing the top overall rated outside linebacker in the class of 2020, according to 247Sports.

Expect that list of offers to grow rather soon after the season Flowe just put together. Helping Upland High School finish the year off 12-1, the sophomore standout accounted for 119 total tackles and six quarterback sacks for head coach Tim Salter and the Highlanders.
