The rivalry between <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/michigan-wolverines/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michigan</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/ohio-state-buckeyes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ohio State</a> has been as hot as it ever has been and that rivalry added another chapter Sunday night. Springfield (Ohio) four-star cornerback <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/aaron-scott-jr-151968/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Scott Jr.</a> gave the Buckeyes a recruiting win over their hated rival when he announced his pledge to the Buckeyes over the Wolverines. 



Scott made his decision by leaving a Michigan backpack as the lone backpack on the table. He picked it up and pulled an Ohio State jersey out cementing his commitment to the Buckeyes. 



That move quickly circulated its way around Twitter and Instagram as Ohio State fans started using it to talk trash towards their rivals to the south.

Current Ohio State commitments quickly got in on the action tweeting at Michigan fans and players about the recruiting win. One of those recruits was another in-state commit in Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward four-star offensive tackle <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/deontae-armstrong-163123/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deontae Armstrong</a>. 



Deontae and his twin brother <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/devontae-armstrong-150191/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Devontae</a> each announced their commitment to the Buckeyes on March 27. Since then the two have been vocal recruiters for the Buckeyes and taken their fair share of shots at Michigan fans whenever Ohio State lands a pledge over Michigan. 



“What y’all gotta say nowwww?”, Armstrong tweeted with a laughing face and nut emoji.

Scott Jr.’s commitment to the Buckeyes gives Ohio State 19 commitments in their 2024 class. That group ranks as the No. 2 class in the country and the No. 1 in the Big Ten. 



The 6-foot-0, 180-pound is the No. 42 overall prospect and No. 4 cornerback in the 2024 cycle, according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/football/2024/">On3 Industry Ranking</a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 1 player in Ohio.



On3 rates Scott Jr. higher than other recruiting services, according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/aaron-scott-jr-151968/industry-comparison/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Industry Comparison</a>. Per the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/player/football/2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2024 On300</a>, he is the No. 29 overall prospect, No. 4 cornerback and No. 1 player in Ohio. 



“I have been to Ohio State six or seven times, and it is home,” <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/ohio-state-buckeyes/news/coveted-4-star-cb-aaron-scott-commits-to-ohio-state-i-loved-it-from-the-beginning/">Scott Jr. told On3’s Chad Simmons</a>. “Ever since the first time I visited, it was love at first sight. I loved it from the beginning; and my dad and my family loved it. It just felt right from the very beginning with Ohio State.”
