"We just got back from a long vacation from Daytona," Givens said. "We came back and went to Wisconsin for a family reunion and then we stopped by
Ohio State for the weekend."
The Buckeyes offered Alex late in the spring after evaluating one of his practices.
Alex Givens and his family wanted to get to know the Ohio State coaches and campus more on a personal level.
"I spent a lot of time with coach (Urban) Myers. It was fun. It was a good visit to go on. They are still in it. I love their coaches. It was good to meet a bunch of their players. I got a chance to see where they live and things like that. I watched them workout to get familiar with their workouts. I spent a lot of time with their players too."
Ohio State had something unique that stood out the most.
"I liked the Real Life Wednesday Program. That really stood out. It prepares you for life after football. They get hundreds of businesses there at one time. You exchange cards and email them through the yearse. It creates job opportunities for you throughout your life. I made a lot of great contacts that day."
