Defensive back Aaron Scott Jr. is still a year away from playing college football. But on Sunday night, he became a part of the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry.
Scott announced his college decision on Sunday. On a table in front of him were an Ohio State bag and hat as well as a Michigan bag and hat.
At first, Scott grabbed the Buckeyes apparel. But before putting the Ohio State hat on, he put it down on the bag, then set the bag and hat on the ground behind him. The theatrics weren’t done there, though. Scott then grabbed the Michigan apparel, seemingly signaling his plan to play for the Wolverines. Then, Scott opened the bag and pulled out an Ohio State jersey.
There were no more fake outs from there. Scott announced that he was going to the Buckeyes and later confirmed the news on Twitter.
Aaron Scott had one of the more entertaining Ohio State commitment announcements I can remember, complete with smoke effects and faking out the room he was going to Michigan. pic.twitter.com/Xdg4jRKRnd

This defense needs to bring the swagger back and seems like Scott can be that guy https://t.co/0B7jJ3T3Gk

Been a while since I’ve seen a good commitment video like this. https://t.co/MjjoR6GjA6

Scott — a Class of 2024 recruit from Springfield High School in Springfield, Ohio — is a four-star defensive back. But while we won’t see him on the field in The Game until at least 2024, both sides of the rivalry are no doubt well aware of his presence now.
