Amazing the way they not only landed out-of-state kids like Garrett (committed on 2/19/16), Wade (1/12/15), Pryor (7/27/15), Dobbins (3/6/16), etc. but then also held onto them for a year or two.

Along with the fact Garrett and Dobbins had never even visited campus before they committed. Crazy amazing job by the staff.

BETTER KNOW A BUCKEYE: HASKELL GARRETT
This week's Better Know a Buckeye feature continues with a profile of Haskell Garrett, a defensive tackle from Las Vegas.
HASKELL GARRETT
I retell this story below. After discussing his surprising commitment, I offer a scouting report of a defensive tackle prospect who could thrive as a three-technique defensive tackle. I offer a projection of a redshirt in 2017 before concluding with film for the reader to watch at the end of the feature.
HIS RECRUITMENT
The 2017 class in the state of Nevada promised to be a stacked one for programs across the country to recruit. Most of the talent reside in one program: Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas. The school is responsible for the top four prospects in the state, five of the top six, and seven of the top ten.
Nevada might be a relative backwater for prep football; indeed, Bishop Gorman had zero issue winning the last seven state championships while going undefeated against in-state competition. However, Bishop Gorman has more recently flexed its muscle against major programs from across the country. The program has been undefeated since a September 2013 loss at Booker T. Washington in Miami. It scored wins over Brophy College Prep (Phoenix, AZ), at Servite (Anaheim, CA), at Centennial (Corona, CA), St. John Bosco (Bellflower, CA), Chandler (AZ), at Bellevue (WA), Long Beach Poly (CA), Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, NJ), at Cedar Hill (TX), and Cocoa (FL). Most impressively, it hosted and beat the St. Thomas Aquinas program from Fort Lauderdale in a three-overtime thriller in 2016.
MORE HASKELL GARRETT AT 11W
In other words, Bishop Gorman players, like Haskell Garrett, are good enough to beat anyone and play for any program across the country. Ohio State, which does not seriously recruit Nevada or this program for cause of convenience, expressed an interest in the best players the program has to offer.
Ohio State's recruitment of Garrett starts at the end of 2015 and ultimately with a January 2016 visit from Zach Smith to see Garrett in Las Vegas. By that time, Garrett had already acquired major offers from programs like Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, Texas A&M, USC, and Washington. USC, which has a major footprint in Las Vegas and draw from local prospects, was even his first offer early into his sophomore year.
Nothing around this time indicated his recruitment was nearing a conclusion or that Ohio State had any currency with Garrett. Crystal Ball projections favored Texas A&M and Notre Dame. Garrett seemed to talk more about Notre Dame while Texas A&M, at the time, seemed like certain destinations for teammates Tate Martell and Tyjon Lindsey.
It was all that more surprising when Garrett announced his decision on February 10, 2016.

Every time I see the pic of Garrett in the first post, I think of Bodie from The Wire. Garrett does have a few pounds on him, though.

Emerging DT Haskell Garrett Readying for 2018 Breakthrough
When Dre’Mont Jones decided to return for his redshirt junior season, it made an already deep group of Ohio State defensive tackles even deeper. Despite losing a pair of nose tackles in departing seniors Tracy Sprinkle and Michael Hill, the Buckeyes return their entire depth chart at the three-technique defensive tackle spot.
One of those players in the depth chart last year was true freshman Haskell Garrett, who played in eight games this past season. As a rising sophomore now, however, much more is expected from Garrett.
Johnson has shown that he will find room for players if they can contribute, and that is Haskell Garrett’s primary focus this offseason.
Garrett came to OSU from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, and was one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the 2017 recruiting class. Because of the sheer number of defensive tackles on the roster this past season for the Buckeyes, and his own inexperience, Garrett’s playing time came in blowouts when games were no longer in doubt.
Even despite returning four three-techs in Jones, Jashon Cornell, Malik Barrow, and Garrett, each of these players is expecting to play and contribute in 2018.
And nobody is expecting a drop off from this past season.
“No. There’s going to be a lot of young guys. A lot of young energy,” Garrett said. “We’re going to move that torch and set that bar a little higher than it was set this year.”
