ARVELL REESE OFFERED BY OSU
West was joined on his visit by several high school teammates from Glenville, and one of them left with an offer. Arvell Reese, a 6-foot-3, 212-pound three-star linebacker in the 2023 class, received an offer from the Ohio State coaching staff on Tuesday.

Reese is ranked as the 462nd-best player and the 40th-best linebacker in the 2023 cycle. He also received an offer from USC on Tuesday, bringing him to 20 total Division I scholarship offers. Other offers include Indiana, Kentucky, Purdue, West Virginia, Rutgers, Iowa State and Cincinnati.

With offers to Reese in 2023 and West in 2024, Ohio State may be trying to reignite the well-established pipeline from Glenville High School to Ohio State. Past Glenville alumni that played for Ohio State include Ted Ginn Jr., Troy Smith, Cardale Jones, Chris Worley, Marshon Lattimore and Donte Whitner.

Ohio State trending for 2023 in-state LB
Monday was a rather quiet day for Ohio State recruiting. However, while the Buckeyes coaching staff is certainly due for a well-deserved break, what makes the team so successful at recruiting is their strict no-days-off policy.

This determination paid off on Monday, as the Buckeyes continued to find a way to make the College Football recruiting headlines. 2023 three-star linebacker Arvell Reese (Cleveland, OH / Glenville) has long been connected with the Buckeyes, and on Monday Bucknuts Director of Recruiting Bill Kurelic pegged Ohio State as his prediction in the 247Sports Crystal Ball.

Reese has not yet made a visit to Ohio State — at least not in an official recruiting atmosphere — but being from Ohio, he is certainly familiar with the program. The Buckeyes also presented him with an official scholarship offer back in March. However, they are far from alone in his recruitment. Programs such as Cincinnati, Alabama, USC, Indiana, Iowa, Penn State, Michigan, Nebraska, Purdue, Wisconsin, West Virginia and other have all offered Reese.

Reese certainly has an impressive offer list, and Ohio State is the early favorite, but things could easily change following official visits. Reese plans on taking his official visits later in his recruitment, as he is in no hurry to make a decision. Ohio State will likely be one of the five teams he will choose to visit, but we will learn more about his recruitment once the other official visits are scheduled.

The Buckeyes have been dedicating plenty of focus on in-state recruits in the 2023 recruiting class. The program has already earned five verbal commitments from Ohio recruits in the class, and they could add multiple more.

Ohio State has yet to receive a commitment from the LB position in this class, but the Buckeyes have they eyes set on multiple, including Reese. If Reese were to choose to spurn Ohio State, the Buckeyes are also in the running for four-star LB’s Tackett Curtis, Troy Bowles and Raul Aguirre.

Reese is the No. 33 LB in the 2023 class and is the No. 8 recruit from Ohio. He is also the No. 382 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
