According to the 247Sports composite, Potter is the No. 18 strong-side defensive end in the class of 2019 and the No. 8 overall recruit from the state of Ohio.
Keeping him in Ohio is a big victory for the Buckeyes, as Potter was also looking at Penn State, Wisconsin and Florida, among other big-name schools.
