If you are like me, you like a good behind-the-scenes video. If done the right way, they always give you a peek behind the curtain of what goes on during situations and environments you normally wouldn't see. And ... seeing how most of you who land here are probably Ohio State fans, what's better than a behind-the-scenes OSU football recruiting video?
>That's exactly what we got when 5-star defensive lineman Marcus Fakatou dropped a video of his official visit to the Buckeyes this week. He and a few select visitors went through the paces to kick the tires and meet the coaches, players, and staff in Columbus, and it has some great content that's a little over 25 minutes long.
>It's good stuff because you get to see how recruits are treated when they come to Columbus, something that isn't normally something you would see. We recommend you take a little time aside to see how his visit went and to get acclimated with the California native.

>Fakatou is considered a heavy Ohio State lean, but has yet to announce a commitment date. It does feel like it could be coming soon, especially since he canceled visits to Oregon and Notre Dame. He will be choosing between a final three of OSU, Texas, and Georgia.
>Our money is on him donning the Scarlet and Gray, but as always, we'll have to wait and wait for official word when it comes.
