Four-star offensive tackle Damola Ajidahun committed to Georgia Tech in August. However, he hasn’t closed the door on other programs, attending game-day visits and staying engaged with other schools.

On August 31, Ajidahun attended the Georgia-Clemson game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where the Bulldogs dominated the Tigers with a 31-3 victory. The Georgia Tech commit is set to take an official visit to Shane Beamer's South Carolina for the Gamecocks game against Ole Miss at William-Brice Stadium on Saturday.

The prospect shared the news on X, tagging South Carolina Director of Recruiting Sam Serbay and offensive line coach Lonnie Teasley.

"Official visit locked in @SamSerbay @CoachTeasley."

South Carolina boasts a 3-1 record and is coming off its first off week. Their last game against Akron saw them secure a commanding 50-7 victory.

Ole Miss has also had a strong start and emerged as one of the top offensive teams in the country. The Rebels lead both the SEC and all of Division I in scoring but faced a setback last weekend when the Kentucky Wildcats handed them their first loss of the season, 20-17.

Can Ohio State flip Damola Ajidahun from Georgia Tech?

Damola Ajiduhan was actually predicted to visit Ohio State on Oct. 5 for a game-day visit, which he has now shifted to an official visit to South Carolina. However, Ohio State remains a major name while talking about his flip from his Georgia Tech commitment.

According to recruiting insider Bill Kurelic of Bucknuts, there's a strong likelihood that Ryan Day and Ohio State offensive line coach Justin Frye could persuade Ajiduhan. Frye offered Ajiduhan a scholarship after visiting his school on Sept. 12 and has been instrumental in rekindling interest from the talented prospect.

Ajiduhan expressed his excitement about the offer, saying (via 247Sports):

“He stopped at my school to watch practice and called me Thursday to offer me. Man, I was with family and friends, we were all excited knowing the kind of program Ohio State is. I love the culture and the NFL-style pro offense they run.”

The urgency for Ohio State to secure Ajiduhan is heightened by their current offensive line commitments. The Buckeyes have the top-ranked recruiting class in the nation with 26 commitments, but they have only three offensive linemen in the fold, with just one tackle, four-star Carter Lowe.

Adding Ajiduhan to the room will bolster the program's offensive line depth in the Class of 2025.
