The Buckeyes picked up another Section Five commit with the announcement that Fairport sophomore midfielder TJ Hendricks has decided to study and play lacrosse at Ohio State.

In his freshman year at Fairport, TJ gave the Red Raiders 8g-4a while scoring points in eight games including 1g-1a in their Semi Final win against Webster Thomas.

In the off-season, TJ has played for the SweetLax Lacrosse Club. Last summer he played in the Orange Crush Showcase where he was named to the All Star team. He also played in the Adrenaline Cup, the Big 4, Crab Fest, Sweetlax Invitational and Lake Placid tournaments. To fill in his empty weekends, TJ also played on the Under Armour Uncommitted Team and the Brine All American Tournament. He also played in the National High School Showcase while playing for Fairport.

Casey Vock was impressed with TJ`s performance at the Quaker Fest, calling him a "tenacious, highly effective midfielder". He also had a notice on the Inside Lacrosse web site for his performance at the SweetLax Tournament.

In the fall he played at the Tully Tournament with Fairport and the Big 4 and the Quaker Fest with SweetLax.

Before choosing Ohio State, he considered Syracuse, UMass, Bucknell and Rutgers.
