After an ugly summer for Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, the Buckeyes lost their first 2019 commitment on Friday night.
According to reports, 4-star LB/RB Kane Patterson has decommitted from the Buckeyes and will reopen his recruitment.
Per Brent Dougherty, Patterson — who is a Nashville native — will commit to a new school at a date to be determined:
I talked with @CPAFootball LB Kane Patterson. He has de-committed from Ohio State. He’ll concentrate on his senior season at this point and will re-visit a college choice decision at a later date.

According to the 247Sports composite, Patterson is the No. 9 inside linebacker in the class of 2019 and the No. 7 overall recruit from the state of Tennessee.
Patterson committed to Ohio State over Alabama, Tennessee and other schools back in July. Below, check out some of his junior-year highlights, courtesy of Hudl:
