COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio Dominican head football coach Kelly Cummings announced the signing of 47 student-athletes to the 2017 recruiting class.
"We are extremely excited to have this group of young men join us next year," Cummings said. "They are high achievers in the classroom and in their communities, and are also tremendous football players. They will help us continue to perform at a high level on and off the football field."
