The Buckeyes got a big boom on the recruiting front on Monday afternoon as five-star wide receiver Carnell Tate committed to Ohio State, giving Brian Hartline yet another elite wide receiver prospect.
Naturally, the Buckeyes went nuts at the news.
Some of Ohio State's current receivers took to Twitter to welcome their future teammate.

And some of Tate's other future teammates welcomed him to the group, too – including what might be his future quarterback.

Former players joined the celebration, too – including one of Brian Hartline's former players, Parris Campbell, and fellow former Buckeye star receiver Michael Thomas.
Ohio State needs to give my boy Hartline a mega signing bonus. This dude is on planet mars chilling with the aliens when it comes to recruiting. I mean who is doing it like him?

And naturally, the Ohio State coaching staff had a little fun too, starting with Hartline himself.

Tate was the latest five-star prospect to commit to Hartline and the Buckeyes, and two other highly touted wide receivers – who could be the next to join him – took notice.
