Ahrens was originally committed to Ohio State but reopened his recruiting in June when Thad Matta was fired. Dayton offered him a scholarship the same day.

"Obviously it's a great school, great fan support," Ahrens told the Dayton Daily News in July. "It's 15 minutes down the road, so it's definitely a school I'm considering.
