Mentioned in this story
Slowly but surely, Ryan Day's son, RJ, the starting quarterback for DeSales High School in Columbus, has risen up the recruiting ranks and has begun to get noticed, and he just received a scholarship offer from a Big Ten school. And it came from a familiar face.
The younger Day announced the offer from Northwestern on social media on Wednesday after having a conversation with new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Yes, if you'll remember, Kelly left Ohio State, was fired by Pete Carroll and the Las Vegas Raiders, and is now the offensive coordinator in Evanston. And while many might believe this is a favor to Kelly's protege, Ryan Day, this isn't the first offer from an FBS school.
Day also has offers from 18 other FBS schools, including the likes of Boston College, Cincinnati, Purdue, and Syracuse. He even received an offer from Brian Hartline down at USF, so there are plenty of options. Will Day go with the familiar and choose Northwestern or USF, or will he go somewhere else in the class of 2027? Time will tell.
We'll continue to follow Day's recruitment as well as what Ohio State is doing in the high-stakes game of big-time college football recruiting.
