GARFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio — Garfield Heights point guard Marcus Johnson has had some easy decisions in his life, playing basketball among them. But on Wednesday, Marcus made a big decision, one that felt right for him and his family—committing to play basketball at The Ohio State University.

"First I want to thank God for this opportunity and this blessing to be able to go to college and pick where I want to go. I want to thank my family—my dad, my mom, my siblings—my trainers, my family's supporters, everybody who's been with me through this journey, I thank them," Marcus said on Wednesday at a special meeting inside Garfield Heights High School."With that being said, I will be committing to The Ohio State University.

"JD has been recruiting me at a high level since he had the job as the head coach and the assistant coach so for me and my family, that was really great for us and made us want to commit early," Marcus said. Another reason the Johnson family felt committing early was the right choice was the process that comes with college prep. Not only will Marcus need to continue being a dedicated student, but he'll also now look to ramp up his work on the court to get prepared for college-level hoops. His academics, diet, workout and life will get a jumpstart in what he and his family believe to be an immensely beneficial direction.
