<\/u>\u201cThis is the first recruiting class for our program in a combined setting. I am incredibly proud of our staff and team\u2019s efforts in putting together what we believe is one of the top recruiting cases in the country,\u201d Dorenkott said. \u201cWe have two goals in recruiting student-athletes to Ohio State.

Second is to provide the support and resources to help them develop into outstanding students, athletes and human beings.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>Our team\u2019s culture is driven by relationships and elite performance. This class is a great complement to the program we are building. And, we are not done.
