During these extraordinary times, decisions can be hard to make, but in the case of Ohio State commit Jordan Hancock, he has opted to do what’s best for him and his family’s health.
According to 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong, Hancock will be sitting out his senior season at North Gwinnett High School because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both of his parents have underlying conditions and Hancock wants to limit any exposure he may bring home. Couple that with one of his peers, Justin Hunter from Johns Creek, losing both of his parents to the coronavirus, and it’s easy to understand what played into the decision.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has already been informed about the decision from the 2021 class’ No. 4 ranked cornerback according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
It’s an extremely mature decision for a kid that flipped from Clemson to go to the school that he always had in mind from the get-go.
“I knew in my heart that’s where I wanted to go,” Hancock told 247Sports at the time.
Nobody can really blame the kid, and here’s to hoping that this pandemic comes to an end sooner rather than later.
