It looks like TTUN is scared of Ohio State swooping this recruit from them

Based on a recent scholarship offer, it seems like Michigan is afraid the Ohio State football program is going to beat them for this recruit.

As spring starts to turn into summer, the Ohio State football team's recruiting efforts are starting to heat up. When camp season starts, that's when the Buckeyes start to accumulate more recruits. They still have quite a few top-level recruits that they are looking at.

One of those recruits is five-star running back Savion Hiter. Hiter is the best running back in the country and is from the state of Virginia. That's where TreVeyon Henderson is from, so the Buckeyes clearly have a track record of landing running backs from that area of the country.

One of the other teams that is going after Hiter is Michigan. He will be visiting TTUN on June 13th, but the Buckeyes will have him on campus next weekend. Based on a scholarship offer TTUN just sent out, it seems like they are conceding the fact that they won't be landing Hiter.

TTUN sent out a scholarship offer to another running back in the last couple of days. That shows that they don't feel confident about their standing with Hiter at the moment. In fact, it could show the fact that they are conceding that the Ohio State Buckeyes have a better chance of landing him.

Ohio State feels confident about what Carlos Locklyn brings to the recruiting trail. His first recruiting cycle last year was pretty solid with the guys that he was able to bring in. Hiter would be the first five-star back that the Buckeyes have landed since Henderson back in 2021.

Of course, TTUN isn't the only school that Ohio State is fighting against for Hiter's services. Tennessee and Georgia are also hot on his tail, so it won't be easy for the Buckeyes to bring him in. His upcoming visit to Ohio State is going to be a key point in his recruiting process.

Ryan Day would love to close another five-star recruit. They already have two five-star recruits in this class, which is more than anyone else in the country.
