Dec. 20—SPRINGFIELD — Aaron Scott Jr. verbally committed to Ohio State more than four months ago.
Nothing happened in the meantime to give him any second thoughts about being a Buckeye.
“I feel like that was one of the greatest decisions I’ve made,” the All-Ohio cornerback said. “Once I committed and saw how much love it was, I feel like it just got only better from there.”
He will enroll at Ohio State and begin classes in January as a business major.
“It’s really a blessing to be able to be in this position,” he said. “A lot of players don’t get to do what I’ve been doing. Just being able to be from Ohio and play for Ohio State is a blessing for me and my family.”
Scott and fellow Wildcat Da’Shawn Martin were honored at a ceremony Wednesday afternoon at Springfield High School.
Martin is headed to Kent State after leading Springfield with six touchdown catches last season and finishing with 699 receiving yards.
He said he appreciated getting the chance to show his stuff on a larger stage the past two seasons after beginning his career at Catholic Central.
“It’s a bittersweet moment,” Martin said. “I’m really glad for everything my coaches did for me and then everything my family did for me as well. I’m just glad I got a whole opportunity to play at the next level.”
The Springfield duo were among 10 players in the area to sign letters of intent Wednesday.
Also making their college choices official were Springboro defensive back Willizhuan Yates (Ball State), Centerville defensive back Reggie Powers III (Oklahoma), Lakota West “athlete” prospect Taebron Bennie-Powell (Notre Dame), Stebbins offensive lineman Jake Wheelock (Cincinnati), Xenia offensive lineman Gabe Funk (Appalachian State), Fairfield quarterback Talon Fisher (Navy), Lakota West defensive lineman Elijah Davis (Akron) and Northmont receiver Dalin Wilkins…
