Four-star S Faheem Delane verbally commits to Ohio State

Highly sought four-star safety Faheem Delane verbally committed to Ohio State over the weekend.

Delane is the No. 2 safety in the 247Sports composite national rankings and the 34th overall player. He also is the top-ranked high school recruit in the state of Maryland.

Delane selected Ohio State over Alabama, LSU, Virginia Tech and Tennessee.

Ohio State had done well in securing commitments from defensive backs, earlier landing five-star cornerbacks Devin Sanchez of Houston and Na'eem Offord of Birmingham, Ala.
