USC. He was leaning our way then we canceled his official because Amon Ra and Devon Williams committed and we didn’t have room.
UCLA and Utah liked him but I can’t remember how high he was on them.
If I remember correctly tO$U, USC, and some other schools liked him a lot and everyone knew he was a stud (he had OD video game numbers in HS) but no one knew he would be this in college. Other cali kids around that time like Javon McKinley had gaudy stats then went to schools like ND and did nothing. Still some USC fans lament Olave going to Ohio because during the period we thought he was going to be in our class, so many highlights and reports were posted about him we were sold.
I forgot you guys had them in that class as well. I was listening to a podcast talking about how Zack Smith and Ryan Day were on a visit looking at a QB (I can’t remember who) and asked Olave to run routes for him and ended up really liking him. I remember not even knowing who he was and then he blocked a punt against Michigan and started breaking out after that.
Forgot about McKinley
