Buckeyes tight ends coach Keenan Bailey has car stolen on Cleveland recruiting trip.
The December early signing period for NCAA recruits opens Dec. 20, in eight days, and as such, coaches throughout college football are scampering across the country for last-minute visits with prospects.
Ohio State's Keenan Bailey had his progress rather abruptly halted Monday night when he was headed to Ginn Academy, the Cleveland-area magnet school northeast of the city's downtown.
Bailey was carjacked, according to multiple reports, by four youths who seized Baiey's automobile and led police on a downtown chase. Cleveland law enforcement even deployed a helicopter to help track the suspects and bring to an end a chase that resulted in multiple arrests.
According to Cleveland.com, Bailey was stopped at gunpoint and had his Dodge Durango SUV taken by the youths, whom the report noted also sought to carjack additional people in the area.
The Buckeyes in Ryan Day's 2024 OSU class have a pair of commitments, Bryce West and Demarion Witten, who attend Ginn Academy and play for area school Glenville.
An OSU spokesperson confirmed to media that Bailey was not injured during the high-jacking and that the Buckeyes' tight ends coach had resumed his recruiting.
