Welcome to the Buckeye family, Austin Mack.
The four-star wide receiver out of Indiana has been committed to Ohio State since early July, but today Mack officially reserved his spot in the 2016 class by signing his financial aid agreement.

That scholarship is now bound to Mack, though he could still opt out by National Signing Day if he so chose. Traditionally, these are used to clear the way for early enrollments.
Whether Mack's school, Bishop Luers, allows that remains to be seen. For example, Jaylon Smith, another talented Lauers product, was unable to early enroll at Notre Dame.
Still, this is good news for Ohio State (who can now mention him publicly) and for Mack himself. The 2016 class should be something special.
