Ohio safety Malik Hartford put Ohio State in his top 7 schools list on Friday, while Preston Alford is considering a PWO opportunity from the Buckeyes.
Hartford visited Ohio State in late January, the same weekend he received his official scholarship offer from the Buckeyes. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound prospect plans to visit Columbus again sometime this spring. Hartford plays for Lakota West High School, where he was teammates with recently enrolled Ohio State cornerback Jyaire Brown and offensive line signee Tegra Tshabola.
We hear horror stories about the transfer portal from seemingly any collegiate coach that gets in front of a microphone, both about the lack of landing spots for every athlete that tests the portal waters and the ripple effects the portal has on high school seniors searching for a home. Consider Alford in the latter camp.
“I guess I waited too long to commit because schools decided to take portal kids,” Alford said. “It’s been a tough recruiting year for ‘22 kids. I am certainly considering the PWO opportunities. I have no problem betting on myself.”
