Ohio State is in the mix for an elite Florida prospect, but they will be going up against some key competition.

A key prospect out of Florida, Alford kept Tennessee and the in-state Gators out of the SEC in the mix. Fellow Florida-based programs Florida State, Miami and UCF are also in the mix while Ohio State out of the Big Ten rounds out Alford’s list.
