Gant chose Ohio State over Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Michigan State, who were the other parts of his Top 5 that he released last month.
With Gant on board, Ohio State now has 10 commitments for their 2018 recruiting class, which ranks second in the nation according to 247Sports. The Buckeyes only trail Miami in the current recruiting rankings.
