Ohio State '22 GA WR (JR) - Kojo Antwi

BACK IN RACE FOR ANTWI
Just two weeks ago, 247Sports reported that Kojo Antwi was down to a final three of Alabama, Georgia and Texas A&M with Ohio State being left out of the mix.

After some miscommunication between Antwi and the Buckeyes' staff was corrected, the top-100 overall player and four-star receiver out of Georgia has Brian Hartline and Co. back in business.

Antwi announced on Thursday night that he is actually now down to a top five with Ohio State and USC joining the trio above. He will announce his commitment on his mother's birthday, July 5:

Have to love the Buckeyes' chances now that Antwi put them back in the mix, as Hartline still very much is in a position to get things done here.

Ohio State is searching for a third receiver to add to the pair of Burton and Kyion Grayes, and Antwi would be the perfect fit. He has visited Columbus previously, but if the dead period is lifted after May 31 (something we have been increasingly, but cautiously optimistic about) then that will go a long way for Antwi and Ohio State. A visit could seal the deal in the same way that it did for Grayes.

Caleb Burton, Kyion Grayes getting to know Kojo Antwi
The buzz around Kojo Antwi has been all over the place these last few months. But the Lambert (Suwanee, Ga.) High School standout has been a top target for Ohio State since last year, and he’ll make an official visit to Columbus in June.

The Buckeyes have been keeping up with the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Antwi thanks to two of their 2022 commitments: Caleb Burton and Kyion Grayes.

“Me and Kyion were texting last week,” Antwi told Lettermen Row. “Me, Caleb and Kyion all hopped on a Zoom about two weeks ago to talk ball, too. We did that with one of Coach Hartline’s assistants.”

Being in Georgia and having ties to Texas A&M, it’s thought that the Buckeyes are probably running third in the Antwi recruitment right now. That’s why it’s so important that the two Ohio State commitments let him know he’s a priority for them as well as the coaches in Columbus.

“It obviously matters, getting to know your potential teammates,” he said. “Seeing who they are as a person and stuff like that. It’s important because you’re going to be around your teammates all the time.”

Antwi will be at Ohio State the weekend of June 18. He was hoping to arrange his visit at the same time as Burton and Grayes, but it didn’t work out that way.

“At first Caleb said he would be on my visit in the third week,” Antwi said. “Then everybody just decided to go the first week in June, so that changed.”

The country’s No. 13-ranked receiver will be at Georgia the weekend of June 4. The Buckeyes will have to get through his two big visits to Georgia and Texas A&M before his planned visit to Ohio State. For a moment or two back in early March, that visit didn’t seem likely. Recruiting fans may recall that Antwi had listed a top-three schools list of Texas A&M, Georgia and Alabama and actually planned a commitment date. A day later, he reversed his plans.

“Ohio State is not out of it, I promise,” Antwi said. “I’m pushing my commitment back.”


Antwi and C.J. Williams are two of the biggest targets remaining for the Buckeyes at wide receiver in 2022.
