Ohio State Football gets two commitments on the same day
By Ryan Stano
The Ohio State football program was celebrating several Buckeyes getting drafted over the past weekend. It was a good weekend to see how many Buckeyes have realized their dream of playing at the professional level. Both new Buckeyes will hopefully realize the same dream
Ohio State received a commitment from four-star running back Jordan Lyle. He is from the state of Florida and had offers from programs such as Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, and Miami. He is someone that is looking to perform at a program that has had a lot of great running backs.
Lyle stands at six feet tall and 180 pounds. He has some good speed. He becomes the third running back in the 2024 class for the Ohio State football team. Ohio State has one of the deepest running back rooms in the country this season. That will continue next year.
He isn’t the only new Buckeye. Lorenzo Styles, who is the brother of former five-star safety Sonny Styles, has committed to Ohio State as a cornerback. Styles previously played receiver at Notre Dame and had entered the transfer portal in the Spring.
Styles was a defensive back in high school and was quite good in the secondary. He improves the depth of a Buckeye secondary that has been beleaguered in recent seasons. While it’s unclear how much he will play immediately, he certainly has some skills to see the field in the next couple of years.
Adding Styles gives the Buckeyes two talented players from the same family. Both of these players will have plenty of time to make an impact on the Ohio State football program over the next two to three years. I really can’t wait to see what they do for the next in the secondary.
Expect the Buckeyes to get some more commits over the summer.
