It's not too often a loss on the recruiting trail can show the strength of a team's scouting prowess, but that might be the case for Texas State football.

Daylon Gordon, a running back who pledged to the Bobcats in the spring, has reportedly flipped his commitment to Ohio State. The 5-foot-9 senior out of Wylie was a three-star recruit at the time but has risen up the 247Sports rankings. He's now a four-star prospect overall and according to the site's composite. He was the 33rd-ranked back in the nation but has risen to No. 22.
Last season, Gordon rushed 169 times for 1,063 yards and 14 TDs, per 247Sports. He also added 38 receptions for 565 yards and four TDs on a sturdy 14.9 yards per catch.
Gabe Brooks, a scouting analyst for 247, wrote in May that Gordon is a "dynamic playmaker" as both a pass catcher and ball carrier.
"Natural build for the position with a low center of gravity and broad-shouldered stature," he wrote. "Solid track and field data accompanies equally respectable testing numbers." Brooks also praised his top-end speed and acceleration.
So it's no surprise the Buckeyes would be interested. He also held offers from Texas Tech, Utah, Florida State, Ole Miss and others. Texas State head coach GJ Kinne still has one potential back committed in the class: Isaiah Reed, who is listed by some recruiting outlets as an ATH, out of Hamshire. But Alabama recently extended him an offer.
