2023 to visit Columbus
This summer is sure setting up to be a busy one for Ryan Day and the Ohio State football squad.

You might’ve heard of where Carnell now calls home. Tate transferred to powerhouse prep program IMG Academy (FL) this winter after putting together a fantastic year on the field during his freshman season at Marist High School (IL). Seeing time halfway through his freshman campaign, Tate hauled in 28 receptions for 444 yards, and five touchdowns to help his team make a deep run in the Illinois state playoffs in 2019.
Holding well over 25 scholarship offers at the moment, Tate, the seventh wide receiver, and 47th overall prospect in the entire class of 2023, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings, picks up new interest almost daily. Putting together a list of some of the best to do it on the college level, Ohio State is up against the likes of Florida State, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, LSU, Texas and many others for the 6-foot-2, 185-pound playmaker.

Quick Hits
- On Tuesday night, the Buckeyes received a Crystal Ball to land Tennessee transfer linebacker Henry To’o To’o. The prediction came from none other than Bill Kurelic, 247Sports’ Ohio State insider. To’o To’o is a former high four-star prospect, and was the No. 3 OLB and the No. 44 player overall in the 2019 class. He was dominant in his first two seasons with the Volunteers, registering 140 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss and an interception in his time in Knoxville. There has seemingly been momentum growing between Ohio State and the transfer linebacker for quite some time, and his addition would go a long way in offsetting the blow felt by the decommitment of Dasan McCullough.
