Getting to know more about 2019 Ohio offer

The Buckeyes offered 2019 defensive end Zach Harrison on Saturday, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound sophomore at Olentangy Orange High School in Lewis Center, Ohio. Harrison has emerged over the last few months as one of the state’s best overall prospects regardless of class.

“He was always a hard worker,” Orange head coach Zebb Schroeder told Land of 10. “(He) loved football and was really coachable. The last 18 months he’s just kept getting taller and quickly gaining muscle, but also getting faster.Then matched his physical growth with an all-state year on the field and boom — he’s a national recruit.”

Schroeder said the development was something he saw coming.

“We saw it coming last spring,” Schroeder said. “He grew to 215 pounds so quick and was running a 22-second 200-meter run. We were like ‘Holy cow, if he plays well on the field he’s going to be heavily recruited.'”

Now that he is being heavily recruited – the Buckeyes offer was his eighth – it’s all about handling the pressure that comes with it.

Lewis Center (Ohio) Olentangy Orange defensive end Zach Harrison, a physical freak, also earns an early high four-star ranking. He has length, burst and is just beginning to scratch the surface of his potential.

“This is the Midwest prospect we gave the strongest early five-star consideration to, but we want to see a little more skill refinement first,” Rivals.com Midwest Recruiting Analyst Josh Helmholdt said. “The physical tools are off the charts, though, and Harrison has all the makings of a dominant pass-rushing defensive end. He has early offers from Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Michigan State and others.”
