Ohio State pays a visit to an offensive lineman from Alabama who recently withdrew his commitment.
Despite the bittersweet retirement of Alabama head coachNick Saban, the Ohio State football program is capitalizing on the opportunity presented by the situation. Several recruits who were initially committed to the Crimson Tide have opted to reconsider their choices, and one such recruit is offensive lineman Mason Short. Standing at 6 feet 6 inches and weighing 315 pounds, Short is regarded as the eighth-best player in his position and holds the 160th national ranking according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
In a notable development, Short officially decommitted from Alabama on Tuesday morning, prompting Ohio State to swiftly respond. Justin Frye, the offensive line coach, made a visit to meet with the talented prospect, along with his high school coaching staff. It’s worth mentioning that during this meeting, Short was still officially committed to the Tide.
