Ohio State moves into top three for Andrew Stargel after first visit to Columbus

Ohio State hit the road hard in May, looking at many offensive linemen in the country who they felt could play at the level required to be a Buckeye.

One player that offensive line coach Justin Frye saw, liked a ton, and eventually offered was Roswell (GA) product Andrew Stargel.

The Buckeyes immediately jumped into the top five for Stargel, before he even visited campus. He made his first trip to Columbus on Friday, allowing him to see everything the program has to offer.

“It was unreal,” Stargel told Lettermen Row. “I got a full tour of the facilities and was able to have dinner with Coach Frye. The highlight for me was definitely seeing the stadium.”

It was just a one day trip, but Stargel got to spend quality time with both Frye and head coach Ryan Day, something he said he was looking forward to ahead of the visit.

“I mainly spoke with Coach Frye, but I also had a long talk with Coach Day,” Stargel said. “They spoke to me about how I would fit into the program and all of the things that go into Ohio State.”

Now that Stargel has visited OSU, where do the Buckeyes stand on his list?

“They’re definitely in my top three, along with Kentucky and UCF,” Stargel responded when asked. “I’m most definitely taking an official visit. It’s not locked in 100-percent yet, but I’m pretty sure it will be on June 7.”

Official visits will be key as Stargel works towards a summer decision.

“I’m committing on July 4,” he told On3. “The biggest factors in my decision will be relationships and development.”

Stargel is ranked as a 3-star prospect by the On3 Industry Rankings.
