Football Buckeyes Get Another Recruit From Australia
The Ohio State football team is welcoming another recruit from Australia with the announcement of a commitment from punter Jesse Mirco.
A native of Perth, Mirco posted on his Twitter that he has accepted a scholarship offer from the Buckeyes to play football as part of the class of 2021.
Mirco is 23-years-old and plays Australian Rules Football, which is a fast-paced contact sport similar to rugby.
Mirco joins a growing list of native Australians to play for Ohio State that includes current Philadelphia Eagles punter Cameron Johnston
