Ohio State flip target committed to play in the ACC makes bold statement about the Buckeyes that could be good or bad

"I grew up watching them, so it was a big, big offer for me,”Brede said of the offer from the Buckeyes, via Eleven Warriors. "I didn't want to get too starstruck by the name of the offer but it's obviously a big thing, (the) national championship.

"It’s a big thing growing up in Ohio, obviously, the culture behind it. But, I just got to not think of the name and think of what's best actually there, so that's really what's been going through my head."

Brede isn’t getting caught up in the late offer from the Buckeyes fully and is making sure he makes the right decision for his future. That’s understandable. Ohio State missed on several of its top offensive line recruits, but did land key in-state pieces like Sam Greer and Maxwell Riley. Adding Brede to the class would give Ohio State three offensive line commitments from the Buckeye state. When it comes to what Brede is looking for, it is pretty simple.  

"It's mostly relationships to me, but (NIL) is something I have to consider," Brede said via 11W. "We'll see where that takes me, but it's relationship-based and development-based mostly."
