The Buckeyes landed themselves a big time prospect today, as three-star wide receiver Elijah Gardiner from Texas stated he was making the leap from Missouri to Ohio State, tweeting out his decision.

The decision for Gardiner comes two days before National Signing Day. Here’s more info on Gardiner from an article published today in Cleveland.com
Rated the No. 172 wide receiver in the 2017 recruiting class in the 247Sports composite rankings, Gardiner was committed to Missouri since Nov. 7. Ohio State didn’t get heavily involved until it lost a commitment from five-star receiver Tyjon Lindsey of Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman earlier this month.
Gardiner — who is 6-foot-5 — is commitment No. 20 in Ohio State’s 2017 recruiting class and the fifth player from the state of Texas.
Ohio State has two commitments in its 2017 class from wide receivers: Four-stars Trevon Grimes of Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas and Jaylen Harris of Cleveland Heights.
Gardiner had an ‘official’ visit to Ohio State a few days back, which helped in making his decision to jump over to the Buckeyes.
