\n\tBrady Edmunds<\/a> has been committed to Ohio State for over 18 months<\/a>, but an official visit this weekend could determine whether he ever plays for the Buckeyes.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI got a couple of questions I want to ask,\u201d Edmunds told reporters during Ohio State\u2019s 7-on-7 tournament on Wednesday. \u201cAt the end of the day, I think wherever I end up, I think I\u2019m gonna make the most of it. So just communicate with the staff and just getting through it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEdmunds’ questions include whether Ohio State plans to add a second quarterback to its 2027 class and what his role would be with the Buckeyes early in his college career. Edmunds said he has \u201cno problem\u201d with another signal-caller joining him next year, so long as Ryan Day and Billy Fessler share the same vision.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI just want to make sure we\u2019re on the same page with everything and how we go about this correctly,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it\u2019s been OK so far, but just making sure everything\u2019s good and so I can make the best decision at the end of the day.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEdmunds made an official visit to UCLA on June 5. He told reporters Wednesday he had a great experience and that he has a growing relationship with the program\u2019s new head coach, Bob Chesney, who led James Madison to a College Football Playoff appearance last season. His comments aligned with remarks he made in an interview with Rivals’ Adam Gorney<\/a> the week after he visited the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe visit went really, really well,\u201d Edmunds told Gorney. \u201cWhatever expectation I had it definitely surpassed it. I\u2019m still getting through my Ohio State OV and camp. As of now, I don\u2019t know where I\u2019m going. \u2026 UCLA definitely hit the spot. My family really loved it there. It definitely won them over so just trying to navigate from here and we\u2019ll see in the next month-and-a-half or so.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEdmunds says Ohio State and UCLA are the only schools he\u2019s seriously considering. He told reporters Wednesday that some other Big Ten and SEC schools have also reached out to him about visits, but he doesn’t see himself as a fit at those programs.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy biggest thing that I\u2019m focused on is if football is taken away from me can I see myself there? There\u2019s a lot of schools that I don\u2019t see myself there. UCLA and Ohio State are just those major two,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIf for whatever reason it ends up going the other way, it would be a tough thing to walk away from. I\u2019ve been a part of this for so long, obviously committed for 18-plus months, one of the longest commits in all of the class, so it means a lot.\u201d \u2013 Brady Edmunds on his Ohio State Commitment\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf Edmunds were to flip to UCLA or another school, he said the decision would be difficult. As the second commitment in Ohio State\u2019s 2027 class behind five-star wide receiver Jamier Brown<\/a>, Edmunds has been pledged to the Buckeyes for a year and a half. He has been a fan of the program for even longer.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIf for whatever reason it ends up going the other way, it would be a tough thing to walk away from,\u201d Edmunds said of his Ohio State commitment. \u201cI\u2019ve been a part of this for so long, obviously committed for 18-plus months, one of the longest commits in all of the class, so it means a lot. I mean, my family, everything like that. My grandpa obviously being from here. It\u2019s a big deal.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEdmunds said he does not have an official timeline for making a final decision on his college destination. However, he’d like to make one sooner rather than later.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s a time where I\u2019d like to get it done, and that\u2019s probably as soon as possible,\u201d he said. \u201cBut again, I never thought I would really be in this position to begin with, so we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brady Edmunds has been committed to Ohio State for over 18 months, but an official visit this weekend…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713513,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-713512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
