Florida four-star defensive back Lejond Cavazos has decommitted from Ohio State, he announced on Twitter. https://t.co/tbjiUxYIq8

Ohio State very much remains a top school for both Wray and Cavazos moving forward despite their respective decommitments. Their decisions more so ensure they’re making a decision based on what school is best for them as a whole rather than one specific coach.

Makes sense for Ohio State’s 2020 commits to open things back up and reevaluate their recruitment amid Urban Meyer’s retirement and uncertainty surrounding their potential position coaches. It’s early, so plenty of time to build relationships with Ryan Day and any new staff.

New #OhioState coach Ryan Day is a huge reason 4-star DB @lejondaryy could commit back to the #Buckeyes. VIP https://t.co/NEMXHjOooR

DB @lejondaryy tells me #OhioState DC Greg Schiano stopped at IMG today. Cavazos decommitted from the #Buckeyes on Tuesday but is still considering OSU.

Ohio State assistant Jeff Hafley reaches out to Lejond Cavazos
If proof is needed that the Buckeyes are eager to bring former 2020 commitment Lejond Cavazos back into the fold, the fact that he was the first player to receive a phone call from new co-defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley should provide it.

“[Hafley] has a great personality,” Cavazos said. “He’s such a family man. I like that about him.”

Cavazos had been a priority for Ohio State during much of the last year, but some believed that was a byproduct of his father’s friendship with Urban Meyer. Clearly the Buckeyes still have him at the top of their list.

Ohio State has not yet landed a cornerback back in the Class of 2019, so the need for that position is amplified in the 2020 cycle. Cavazos has been at the top of the list for the last year. He’s expected to get back to Columbus for a visit and may begin taking his official visits this coming spring.

The Buckeyes will continue to fight Georgia, LSU, Alabama and Oregon for the former Ohio State verbal. LSU has a commitment from 5-star 2020 cornerback Elias Ricks, who is close friends with Cavazos and working to bring him to Baton Rouge.

At The Opening regional in South Florida and former Ohio State commit Lejond Cavazos just ran a 4.41 on his first 40-yard-dash attempt. No need to wonder why Ohio State really wants him back in the 2020 class.
