Bryson Rodgers may live in Florida, but his Ohio roots have always compelled him to root for OSU. After receiving his dream offer, he may play for the Buckeyes one day.
“It was a dream come true,” Rodgers said. “There's definitely a great bond between myself and coach Hartline. It’s amazing just getting to know him more and how he puts his players in the best position to succeed. He asked my offensive coordinator and my D-line coach questions about my character and the type of person that I am. He even talked to my family on FaceTime and he said ‘I was trying to find things not to like, and I couldn’t find them.’ Hearing that was awesome.
The next step will be taking visits, and Rodgers said Ohio State is absolutely going to be one school he makes a trip to in March. Besides the personal connection, there’s plenty of football-related reasons Rodgers is high on Ohio State. He watched two OSU wideouts eclipse the 1,000-yard receiving mark in 2022, and Chris Olave fell just 64 yards short of reaching that total himself. Rodgers enjoys the way each wideout is deployed, allowing their versatility to show through, especially since he views himself as both outside an inside receiver.
Hartline has been one of the main reasons Ohio State has landed so many highly touted wide receivers in the last few recruiting cycles. His relationship with Rodgers could also prove key in getting him to eventually suit up for the Buckeyes one day.
