Starting at the right offense tackle for the 49er's was/is Colton McKivitz whose family lives in Jacobsburg in Belmont County. He graduated from Belmont Union Local and was never recruited by Ohio, even though in high school he took classes at Ohio University Eastern. He too played high school basketball and ended up being First Team All Ohio in both football and basketball. BTW, his high school basketball team played in the Regionals at the Convo. Again, he was never recruited by Ohio for any sport. I guess Ohio's staff thought he just did not have it in him to play beyond high school in any sport. Oh well, Ohio's loss.
It happens, I'd like to know if any Ohio alums pushed him and let the staff know. So often that is how that happens. I can tell you when he played in the Convo he was already committed by then.
