Ohio State Recruiting: 4 top performances from 2020 commits
By David Wysong
Many Ohio State recruiting class of 2020 commits have had big performances this high school football season, but a few stood out this week.
Several Ohio State recruiting commits have found success during this young high school football season. With that, I have decided to take a look at some of the top performances from the 2020 class during this past week.
Here are four of the best ones.
Paris Johnson Jr., Princeton High School
I cannot wait until this guy is a Buckeye.
Johnson is the No. 7 overall recruit in the country and the No. 1 offensive tackle and his team’s offense absolutely dominated this week.
Behind the six-foot-seven, 295-pound Johnson, Princeton’s offense picked up 360 total yards and 261 yards on the ground, leading to their 42-0 win over Withrow High School.
In addition to picking up a ton of yards that led to a blowout win, Johnson had six pancake blocks on the night.
This man will be a beast in Columbus.
Gee Scott Jr., Eastside Catholic High School
The four-star wide receiver and the No. 11 wide receiver overall proved that he can be a dominant go-to man this week.
Scott, from Sammamish, Washington, caught a total of 13 passes for 95 yards this week and scored two touchdowns, leading to a 57-20 win.
The six-foot-two-and-a-half-inch, 207-pound explosive pass catcher will be a nice addition to the Buckeyes’ receiver corp.
Cameron Martinez, Muskegon High School

Martinez had one of the most eyebrow-raising nights of the entire 2020 class.
The No. 14 athlete in the country racked up 297 all-purpose yards – 179 yards rushing, 28 yards passing and 90 kickoff return yards – leading to a 41-18 win for his team. Martinez also found the end zone four times.
This explosive athlete from Muskegon, Michigan will be fun to watch.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rockwall High School
This is another nice receiver that could be big-time for the Buckeyes.
Smith-Njigba had a big night for his team as the four-star recruit, and the No. 10 wide receiver in the country, caught four passes for 91 yards and scored two touchdowns, leading to his team’s 50-7 steamroll-win.
With both of them being dynamic athletes and respected by the top scouts in the country, Scott and Smith-Njigba could eventually become a pretty scary duo in Columbus.
