Ohio State is well on its way to being the most represented program at Nike Football's The Opening Finals yet again, as IMG Academy five-star defensive tackle Taron Vincent becomes the latest commit to earn an invitation to the prestigious event. 

Vincent, who was among the more than 300 prospects to compete at the Washington D.C. Regional on Sunday afternoon, will join four-star running back Jaelen Gill and four-star safety Jaiden Woodbey at the finals this summer. It's easy to see why he was invited, too. 

The 6-foot-2, 285-pound Vincent is considered the top-rated defensive tackle and No. 11 prospect overall in the Class of 2018. He picked the Buckeyes earlier this month over 31 others offers from programs such as Alabama, Clemson, Florida State and Michigan.

The event will take place in Beaverton, Oregon, in either late June or early July.
