The Buckeyes stopped by The Hun School earlier this week and Hansard, who also has offers from Alabama, Michigan, Penn State almost 15 others, saw the Buckeyes play in Ann Arbor in November when he visited Michigan.

The last weekend in January is shaping up to be a big weekend for the Buckeyes' 2017 class. We'll have an update on a few more of those names expected to be in town shortly.

Hansard, 6-foot-3, 305, is the country's 6th-ranked 2017 defensive tackle.
