Good vibes are all around Columbus after the Buckeyes concluded their third official visit weekend of the summer.
Ten official visitors, including four five-star prospects, made a weekend trip to OSU beginning on Friday. Five-star safety KJ Bolden was among them, with the Buckeyes leaving a lasting impression on the Georgia product. Shortly after his visit, Bolden tweeted that his OSU trip was a “10/10 visit for sure” and posted a photo of himself along with five-star defensive lineman Eddrick Houston, who also visited Columbus over the weekend.

It seems likely the weekend will lead to at least one commitment, as Ohio State’s official Twitter account hinted as such on Sunday.

Several OSU commits and director of recruiting strategy Nick Murphy also gave hints that a big commitment is coming sooner than later.

Of the 10 prospects in attendance, Houston seems to be the likeliest one to commit to the Buckeyes next, considering OSU already had plenty of momentum with him entering his visit and the 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive lineman has picked up two 247Sports Crystal Ball projections in favor of Ohio State. Houston has a scheduled commitment date for Aug. 22, but he could always move that up if compelled. One way or another, Ohio State has emerged as the clear favorite to land him whenever he announces his college decision.
