4-star TE Damarion Witten camps at Ohio State
Cleveland (Ohio) Glenville tight end Damarion Witten is one of the top targets on Kentucky’s offensive recruiting board. The flex target is fresh off an impressive junior season at a powerhouse program and is one of the top players in Ohio in 2024. The local Big Ten school has taken notice.
Ohio State has long been seen as Kentucky’s top competition in this recruitment. Witten has an official visit scheduled with Ohio next weekend (June 23-25). Before that trip, Witten made a quick pitstop in Columbus for a camp visit on Wednesday, per Buckeye Huddle’s Marc Givler.
The No. 350 overall prospect in the On3 Industry Ranking has made a handful of unofficial visits since the 2022 season ended to see Ryan Day‘s Ohio State program. A Wildcats vs. Buckeyes battle is brewing in this recruitment.
