Amedeo Della Valle is headed to Ohio State.
The 6-foot-5, 183-pound combo guard from Findlay Prep chose the Buckeyes Saturday over Arizona and Texas A&M.
“Probably the level of competition and the kind of guys they have,” the 19-year-old Italian guard said of why he chose Ohio State. “They are great guys and they have great coaches. Coach [Thad] Matta is a great coach.
“Those are the things that made me decide.”
Della Valle averaged 12.2 points and 3.0 assists while shooting 54 percent from beyond the arc for the ESPN NHSI champions.
“I’ll play a combo guard,” he said of his role at Ohio State. “I’m going to play with the ball and off the ball, it depends.”
Said Findlay assistant Todd Simon: “He’s extremely athletic and has a big upside because of his work ethic.”
