The biggest #BOOM of Fourth of July came in the afternoon.
Ohio State landed one of its biggest commitments ever on Sunday afternoon when five-star defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau pledged his talents to the Buckeyes.
With his commitment to Ohio State, Tuimoloau became the highest-rated defensive player to commit to the Buckeyes in the modern recruiting era and put a bookend on Ohio State's already-loaded 2021 class, giving the Buckeyes six composite five-star prospects, three of which are ranked in the top 10.

Needless to say, it was a massive commitment. And the social celebration from Ohio State matched the occasion.
Tuimoloau will soon join the Buckeyes on campus to begin preparations for the 2021 season.
