Ohio State football apparently offered major NIL bag to 5-star recruit

.

Ohio State has had a rough stretch on the recruiting trail lately with recent commitment of David Sanders Jr. to the Tennessee Volunteers, but it appears we have some additional insight to what went wrong with the five-star’s recruitment to Ohio State.

Sanders chose Tennessee over not just Ohio State, but other hard hitting programs like Georgia. According to THE Podcast, the Buckeyes offered more NIL to Sanders than they have to their own entire offensive line. It looks like location and the fact Tennessee is rumored to be offering housing were the difference makers in his decision.

It is still not ideal that the Buckeyes are having such trouble recruiting offensive lineman, but it should be comforting to know the Ohio State staff is pulling out all the stops.
