So far, it looks like Ohio State is in good shape this cycle, but we’ll see how it plays out with the Buckeyes still waiting for their first D-line commit. It just can’t miss too many times in a row. Sometimes it’s going to strike gold, like it did in 2021. To do that, they need to recruit at a high level and compete with Georgia and Alabama on the trail. The Buckeyes are considered one of a few programs that can enter every season with national championship ambitions.
I don’t mind this strategy by Ohio State. As noted above, Michigan is favored for Robinson, as well as four-star Elias Rudolph There’s not a lot left in Ohio, if the Buckeyes wanted to turn there. The only problem with swinging for five-star talent - and competing Georgia and Alabama - is that if it misses, it needs to find a backup plan. The Buckeyes are also waiting on a decision from Stewart, the No. It’s considered the leader for Houston, along with four-star top-70 prospect Marquise Lightfoot (Chicago). In June, Ohio State had five-star linemen Justin Scott (Chicago), Eddrick Houston (Buford, Ga.) and Dylan Stewart (Washington, D.C.) on campus. Ohio State is always going to swing for the fences up front, especially with Larry Johnson being one of the best position coaches in the country. Look up and down Ohio State’s class history and you’ll find plenty of five-star defensive line talent like Zach Harrison, Taron Vincent, Chase Young, Nick Bosa and others. While the Buckeyes locked down the top player in the state already, Michigan got four-star running back Jordan Marshall and is expected to land four-star edge rusher Brian Robinson. The Wolverines are trying to take advantage of those wins by making an aggressive push for Ohio recruits. The Buckeyes lost the last two games to Michigan. Though West is indeed bound for Columbus, Scott’s recruitment may go down to the wire with Michigan.īoth teams are doing everything they can to lock down Scott, but Ohio State needs him.
The assumption all along was that both would end up at Ohio State. When this cycle started, Ohio State’s perfect scenario was adding West and Scott, giving it a dynamic in-state duo on the outside for the future. 3 corner Kobe Black (Waco, Texas), who visited on June 16.Įven with West aboard and Black a possibility, arguably the most important uncommitted name on Ohio State’s target board is Scott. The Buckeyes got a commitment last weekend from Ohio’s top player in cornerback Bryce West, and they are also in the running for the No. 5 among cornerbacks in the 247Sports Composite, making him the No. One of the major ones is Aaron Scott, a four-star cornerback from Springfield, Ohio.
