How Brock Glenn’s Commitment Impacts Ohio State’s 2023 Recruiting Class

Ohio State’s exhaustive seek for a quarterback lastly got here to an finish on Saturday afternoon when Memphis (Tenn.) Lausanne Collegiate Faculty four-star Brock Glenn dedicated to the Buckeyes over finalists Auburn, Florida State, LSU and TCU.

The 6-foot-2 and 195-pound Glenn is coming off a junior season wherein he threw for 1,576 yards and 23 touchdowns to steer the Lynx to the Division II-AA West regional championship and look within the state semifinals. He additionally rushed for 161 yards and three extra scores.

Glenn – whose full authorized identify is Auburn Brock Glenn – comes from a household that grew up rooting for the Tigers. His grandfather graduated from Auburn in 1963 and his uncle and cousin attended the college, as effectively.

Happily, Ohio State was capable of overcome his identify and household ties because of the workers’s improvement on the quarterback place as of late, in addition to his rising relationship with head coach Ryan Day and quarterbacks coach Corey Dennis.

The Buckeyes didn’t even provide Glenn till early June, and had they waited any longer, he would have probably dedicated to the Tigers in June forward of a visit to the Elite 11 Finals. His official go to to Columbus on June 17-19 gave him extra to consider and he pushed his dedication timeline again consequently.

Through the Elite 11 Finals, Glenn went toe-to-toe with a few of the nation’s finest quarterbacks – together with Oregon five-star commit Dante Moore, USC five-star pledge Malachi Nelson and Baylor four-star commit Austin Novosad, who the Buckeyes additionally welcomed for an official go to final month – and put his sturdy arm, accuracy and talent to make performs on the transfer on show.

“Glenn labored extremely effectively on the run during the last two days of the occasion,” SI All-American director of recruiting John Garcia stated. “The primary time he separated himself from others was on a roll to his left with a sideline move throughout the professional day exercise, a completion he hit that almost all quarterbacks missed by extensive margins.

“Glenn was among the many most snug on the transfer with the stationary targets, too, and was singled out by the Elite 11 workers for working the motion boldly throughout third-level makes an attempt Thursday.”

Glenn additionally possesses a college-ready body and doesn’t have a number of wasted movement between the snap and releasing the soccer, which can give him a head begin when he arrives on campus. He seems to hurry his thought course of at occasions, although that is one thing Day and Dennis will assist him with.

“The arm expertise and athleticism may be very spectacular, however he has so much to show from a manufacturing and consistency standpoint,” Irish Breakdown’s Bryan Driskell stated. “He has a robust arm and possesses a really fast, clear throwing movement. He will get the ball out in a rush and it jumps out of his hand with good velocity. His capability to throw with energy on the run additionally stands out, and Glenn assaults the center of the sphere aggressively.

“Glenn nonetheless wants work on the finer factors of the sport. He can get free along with his mechanics on movie, and when that occurs his ball placement takes a dip. He can change speeds successfully, however he is not fairly as correct when he slows his arm down. He tends to throw excessive, which tells me he his launch level is consistently too early, however that may be corrected.”

As for a way he matches into the category, Glenn will probably be the Buckeyes’ solely dedication on the place this cycle. Ohio State will carry simply three scholarship quarterbacks on the roster this fall, and that can probably stay the case subsequent yr after C.J. Stroud heads to the NFL.

It’s unlikely Glenn will battle Kyle McCord and Devin Brown for a beginning spot as a real freshman, however he’ll carry some much-needed depth in 2023, then compete for the job after a couple of years on the roster.

There’ll probably be attrition on the place after McCord and Brown go head-to-head, so Glenn may very effectively be below middle for the Buckeyes as a redshirt freshman or redshirt sophomore – assuming he can beat out 2024 Chandler, Ariz., five-star Dylan Raiola for the gig.
