Following the departure of Jordon Davison, Ohio State is now setting its sights on three-star prospect Shekai Mills-Knight. The running back from Tennessee is scheduled to visit Columbus on July 29, and the Buckeyes are hoping to secure his commitment.
Mills-Knight, who is considered one of the top 35 running backs in the country, recently narrowed down his list of potential schools to eight. Ohio State made the cut along with Alabama, Auburn, Miami, Michigan, Missouri, Ole Miss, and Tennessee. While the Volunteers are seen as the frontrunners, the Buckeyes are known for their ability to make a strong impression on recruits during campus visits.
The visit from Mills-Knight is a crucial opportunity for Ohio State to showcase what the program has to offer. With the talented running back set to arrive in late July, the Buckeyes will be looking to make a strong case for why he should choose them over the other schools on his list.
