While the rain took a break for most of Wednesday, you might’ve been outside trying to enjoy the sun.

Do you need to catch up on some of the latest news surrounding the recruiting efforts of the Ohio State Buckeyes? Don’t worry! Land-Grant Holy Land is here to save the day.

2021 WR has “great’ camp at OSU

Ryan Day, Brian Hartline, and the rest of staff at Ohio State have been working their tails off playing host to a long list of talented high school prospects so far this camp season.

Dishing out many offers along the way, class of 2021 wide receiver Dekel Crowdus was just one of the recruits who caught the attention of the Buckeye coaches with his skills in person during camp last weekend.

“It was great at Ohio State. I had an amazing camp that day,” Crowdus, a 5-foot-10, 165-pound speedster from Lexington, Kentucky, told Land-Grant Holy Land.

“(I learned) To get my head around when I break out of my routes and to run my routes at a 4.36 speed,” the Frederick Douglass junior added on what tips he learned during his time with the OSU staff.

Arriving in Columbus with offers on the table from programs such as Kentucky, Penn State, and the University of Tennessee, Crowdus left the 614 with a chance to rock the Scarlet and Gray on the college level.

“Coach Hartline offered me,” Dekel said. “They (OSU coaches) loved my performance. They loved my 40 yard dash and loved how I was making plays during 1-on-1’s.”

When it comes to rankings, Crowdus should watch his name climb up the rankings in the coming weeks. A three-star prospect at the moment, he’s currently pegged as the 49th wide receiver, and 317th overall prospect in the entire class of 2021, according to 247Sports.

Ryan Day and the football squad aren’t the only ones handing out scholarship offers to top notch prospects, so are Chris Holtmann and the basketball program.

Announcing his offer via his Twitter page yesterday, three-star 2020 power forward Zed Key is the latest recruit to earn a chance to call Columbus his future home.

With over 20 full rides from programs across the country, the Buckeyes find themselves up against the likes of Illinois, Pittsburgh, Florida, and UConn for the 6-foot-8, 215-pound New York native.
