One of the top offensive line prospects in the 2021 recruiting class has narrowed down his list of interests to nine programs.

Monday morning, five-star offensive tackle Nolan Rucci listed his top nine and is keeping four B1G programs in the mix. Rucci, a native of Lititz, Pennsylvania, is still considering Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin. Outside the B1G, Alabama, LSU, Clemson, Stanford and Notre Dame are in the picture.

Rucci is a 6-foot-8, 290-pound offensive lineman in the 2021 recruiting class. Per 247Sports, he’s ranked as the No. 13 overall player in the cycle and is the No. 3 tackle in the class. He’s also the top-ranked prospect out of the state of Pennsylvania.

With recruiting enduring some limitations due to the ongoing pandemic, teams are having to get a little more creative with the process. Four B1G teams are doing something right with one of the top offensive lineman in the 2021 class.
