Joshua Mickens, 4-star Edge out of Indiana, reveals B1G pledge

Joshua Mickens is one of the top players out of Indiana for the class of 2023. After previously being committed to LSU, Mickens eventually reopened his recruitment in November.

During that time, Ohio State has been making a push. DL coach Larry Johnson and the Buckeyes issued an offer to Mickens early in November and hosted the 4-star prospect on an official visit late in the month.
