5-Star Ohio State Recruit Takes Jab at Michigan Signee on Twitter
By Seth Carlson
The Ohio State-Michigan rivalry never takes a break, even during the recruitment period. The latest Twitter jabs between recruits are becoming increasingly noticeable, adding extra drama to the excitement of the college football landscape as it builds up to an August kickoff.
Michigan might have the better basketball program, but when it comes to football, Ohio State is the class of the Big Ten conference, if not among the entire NCAA. So when five-star Michigan QB recruit J.J McCarthy took a stab at Ohio State, he should have known it would not go without defense.

You can already sense the hate and the offseason reigniting of the Buckeyes-Wolverines rivalry just from McCarthy's tweet. The Ohio State Buckeyes are not a bunch of scrubs, however, and were sure to fire back, doing so in the form of their own five-star recruit, Paris Johnson Jr., an offensive lineman.

Folks, the season hasn't yet changed to summer and the tensions are already mounting between two powerhouse athletic programs in the Big 10. Though Johnson and McCarthy both play offense for their respective teams, it will no doubt be entertaining to see these two young studs face off as the future of the Ohio State-Michigan clash begins to round into shape.
