Buckeyes’ Ryan Day set sights on Quinn Ewers when the now-Texas quarterback was 8th grader

Associated Press  

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ryan Day has been eyeing Quinn Ewers since he was in eighth grade.

And long before even that, Ewers was a talented junior high school kid who showed up for a camp at Ohio State and, Day said, “just had a tremendous release.” “And I remember grabbing him and grabbing his dad and said: ‘Man, you got a bright future ahead of you,’” Day recalled on Friday, a week before the on-field reunion. “I don’t know if this is good or bad, but we’re going to offer you a scholarship to Ohio State, even in eighth grade.
