VIDEO: 4-Star DB Lathan Ransom Reveals Commitment to Ohio State With Special Clip

After taking official visits to Ohio State, Texas, Notre Dame, LSU and Oklahoma, 4-star defensive back recruit Lathan Ransom has finally revealed where he'll be playing football after high school. In a video clip posted to his Twtter page, Ransom proclaimed that he'll be representing the Ohio State Buckeyes once his college career kicks off.

With the announcement coming on his birthday, it seemed like no better time to make this life altering decision, and Buckeyes fans should be jumping with joy over the latest addition to their recruiting class.

In the video, Ransom thanks an abundance of people, including his family, friends and God for granting him this opportunity. With nearly 30 schools making offers to the 6-foot defensive back, he had a lot to ponder before coming to his final decision.
