OSU Makes the Final Cut for 2020 Defensive End from Missouri

OSU is in the mix to land one of the top talents in Missouri, and at a position of need in the 2020 cycle.

Three-star defensive end recruit Jalen Logan-Redding announced this week that he’s trimmed his list from 14 to four schools, and included among them in no order is OSU, Kansas, Texas and Missouri.

I want to thank God and every school that took the time to invest in me in the recruitment process, but at this time I feel it is best that I focus on the schools pictured below. Commitment Coming Soon….#Blessings @DesignerH0bby pic.twitter.com/mtVSglmhUr

The Pokes have long been in the mix for the 6-4, 235-pound prospect from Columbia, Missouri. They offered last summer — the second Big 12 team at the time to do so during his late-summer rise — and have been recruiting him steadily since.

OSU’s 2020 commitment group is defense-heavy, with eight of the 13 current pledges set to play on that end of the field in college. However, defensive end is still a spot that to this point has gone unaddressed.

As a junior at Rock Bridge last season, Logan-Redding logged 21 tackles for loss, eight sacks and recovered four fumbles en route to becoming one of the most sought after recruits in the state. Check out the tape from his season below.
