Waxahachie (Texas) cornerback and Texas Tech commit Calvin Simpson-Hunt has added an offer from Ohio State, he announced Wednesday night.

He is the No. 197 prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranks as the nation’s No. 23 cornerback and the No. 35 junior prospect in Texas.

On3 is higher on Simpson-Hunt than the other three major recruiting sites though, according to the Industry Comparison. In the most recent On300 rankings, he was tabbed as the nation’s No. 108 prospect, No. 13 cornerback and No. 18 player in the Lone Star State.

The 6-foot, 175-pounder chose the Red Raiders in November, who were his only Power Five offer at that point. Since then, LSU, Oregon, Stanford, Vanderbilt, and Louisville are among the dozen or so teams that have entered the mix. Just this week alone, Simpson-Hunt picked up offers from Notre Dame and Texas. And he is also scheduled to visit LSU tomorrow. He is also expected to visit Florida later this month.

Impressive junior season tape taking Calvin Simpson-Hunt to a new level

As a junior this season for Waxahachie, Simpson-Hunt notched 29 tackles, including five for loss. He also has added one sack, a forced fumble and an interception.

“Cornerback Calvin Simpson-Hunt popped on junior tape, and continued to impress the more we researched the Red Raiders verbal,” On3 Senior National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton wrote recently. “The 5-foot-11.5, 187-pounder with a 10.66 100 meter time to his credit this spring checks all the boxes. He has quality length to go with the reactive quickness, turn and run speed and play speed. On3 research informed us that the prospect is among the top corners in the cycle, but he’s just as impressive as a kid.

Simpson-Hunt currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $7.5k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
