The Hurry-Up: Ryan Day says it's “exciting” to think about the potential of Ohio State signee Hero Kanu, and preferred walk-on linebacker Jaylon Stoker commits to the Buckeyes.
“His personality is excellent,” Day said. “His work ethic is excellent, he never had a bad day. I think he’s a joy to work with. But he’s a little raw because he’s still learning how to play the position. So when you see his gifts and how unique his background was, it’s just exciting to think about the potential that might be there.”
While Ohio State knew for sure it was landing Kanu weeks ago, the German standout knew much sooner than that Columbus was the place for him. Kanu first visited Columbus in June as part of Premier Players International’s DreamChasers tour, and loved Larry Johnson’s coaching technique and the campus so much that he asked if he could spend another day in Columbus.
Like Day, Collier is bullish on the future of Kanu, who is ranked as the 128th-best prospect in the 2022 class per 247Sports’ composite rankings. “I know I’m going out on a limb, but I think he’s a top three defensive tackle in the country,” Collier said. “Just his upside and potential. I think they’re getting a kid that’s going to play three years and out. With the element of coach Mick, Larry Johnson and Ryan Day, I think they’re going to tap the untapped potential from him that could be very special.
“He’s not a finished product at all, he didn’t play in Texas or Ohio where he got all the coaching or stuff like that, he played one-and-a-half years in California. But he has the most upside of any kid in this class. I guarantee in two years when they do updated rankings of where the kids should have been, he’ll be in the top 10 easily. The sky's the limit for the kid.
