On Tuesday, Cincinnati Winton Woods junior defensive lineman Jerron Cage decided to end the recruiting process early when he placed his pledge for Ohio State.
Why did Cage pull out early?
According to Cage, after talking with friends and family prior to the process, "I knew I really wanted to go to Ohio State."
Observing his older brother's process was a benefit for Jarron, because her already knew where he wanted to go. In addition, he knew what he wants to study in college, which means he can study more about Ohio State.
At the end of the day, Cage stated that there was one thing that really set the Buckeyes above the rest of the other teams recruiting him.
"Coach (Larry) Johnson," answered Cage. He chimed that the Coach Johnson is a great coach, and that he felt, an instant connection" with the coach. The decision was made by himself and the coach.
Cage felt connection to not only the way Coach Johnson spoke, but also about the way he ran things. "I already feel that I'm there" he added, because Coach Johnson and Cage's high school coach (Coach Andre Parker) have similar practices.
The commitment that Jerron made was approved of by his parents and brother.
His parents support his decision, and his brother is proud of him.
Cage will return to campus for Friday Night Lights later this week, not wasting any time to take his place with the 2017 Buckeyes class.
Cage was on campus in June for camp, and he will be returning to Friday Night Lights to work further with Coach Johnson.
When asked what he wanted to share with the Buckeye faithful fans, the 6-foot, 283 pound defensive tackle said, "I'm going to bring excitement! I want to bring good vibes and back this team up as much as I can. I'm a workhorse, so when it comes down to the grind, I'm going to get the work done."
