Four-Star DL Dominic Kirks commits to Ohio State

Four-star defensive lineman and former Washington commit Dominic Kirks has committed to Ohio State.

The 6-foot-5, 255 pounder chose the Buckeyes over Alabama and USC.

“Great coaching staff, great men more importantly. Coach Johnson is a legend, he is more of a teacher than a coach. He was completely transparent and wants nothing but the best out of me while also wanting me to grow as a young man. They let me know that things will be hard, and I am willing to accept and embrace every challenge that comes, and grind my butt off to be where I need to be in life. It’s like a family, they emphasize brotherhood and playing for the guys next to you. There is no staff like it! I want to be surrounded with people that I believe will develop me into the best I can be on and off the field, and there is no other staff like it.”

The Buckeye State defensive lineman joins coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes’ top 5 2024 class. He is accompanied by five-star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, five-star EDGE Eddrick Houston, and others.
