Before Vargas, the most recent five-star quarterback to commit to the Buckeyes was Bellefontaine, Ohio, native Tavien St. Clair from the class of 2025, who is entering his sophomore

season at Ohio State as the expected backup to Julian Sayin.

The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Vargas joins the Buckeyes' 2028 class less than two months Jett Harrison, the younger brother of former Buckeye wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr, committed to Ohio State.
