Ohio State hosting Florida group, preparing for Addison Nichols decision By July 27, 2021 5:00 pm COLUMBUS — There’s one more real week of Ohio State football recruiting before the program turns its focus to the upcoming season. So, literally and figuratively speaking, it’s time to eat. Ryan Day and his assistant coaches will welcome in top recruits from around the country for a day of fun, fellowship and food on Thursday for what’s been labeled as a recruiting cookout in Columbus. Florida will be in the spotlight for the Buckeyes. The Sunshine State is sending a number of its top players north for the event. The headliners are 5-star running back Richard Young and highly-ranked 4-star defensive end Derrick LeBlanc. It will be the second trip to Ohio State this summer for Young and the third for Leblanc.
