Ohio State’s top-ranked recruiting class of 2021 features players located from coast-to-coast, but as always, the Buckeyes have brought in some of the best players in the state of Ohio.

One of those prospects who has pledged to Ohio State this cycle is Ironton linebacker Reid Carrico. The 6-foot-2.5, 225-pounder committed to the Buckeyes last September over offers from Clemson, Alabama, LSU, Michigan, Florida, Notre Dame, Penn State, Oklahoma, and other national powers.

Buckeye Scoop caught up with Carrico for a one-on-one interview in the latest edition of Around The Oval presented by Revolution Mortgage (Get today’s rates by clicking here!) to hear about why he picked the Buckeyes, if he’ll take visits to other schools when things open up, how the coaching staff plans to use him, being a small town guy trying to make it at a big time program, his relationships with other 2021 prospects, and more.

See the video below for this week’s edition of Around The Oval presented by Revolution Mortgage with Reid Carrico. If you prefer the podcast-only (no video) platform, we'll provide the link for Spreaker shortly once available.
