Ready to send another haul of first round picks in this year’s draft, guys like Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese stole all of the headlines on Thursday, and rightfully so. From the measurables physically to their overall performances in the various drills being tested, Ohio State was once again the talk of the event, and that’s only further backing the testimony of Developed Here the coaching staff loves to use.
Recruits all over the country seeing these sort of showings from Ohio State players has to
speak volumes to this staff’s continued successful track record. A cycle that has repeated itself, 2027 and beyond are only going to get better.
Four-star DB narrows list down to 10
Another day, another top schools list including Ohio State.
The Buckeyes saw good news on Thursday when California native Danny Lang released the latest update in his recruitment. A 6-foot, 160 pound athlete, Lang is the No. 100 player nationally and 12th best cornerback in the 2027 class per the 247Sports Composite.
Nearly 30 offers to his name, seeing him narrow his sights to ten shows the decision is getting closer to being made, but there’s still enough time for programs to pitch why they’re the best fit. A Mater Dei product, Lang’s list of 10 includes the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, Ohio State, USC, and Washington.
Set to decide between these finalists later this summer, Danny has a commitment date of July 2 in the works. Ohio State recruiting Mater Dei often these days, they’ll look to try and change their fortune as the California powerhouse has only given the Buckeyes Chris Henry Jr. in the last few years, and his Ohio roots helped that case.
Just a few months to go, Lang is keeping Ohio State in the fold like many other top players in the defensive secondary.
Buckeyes set to host four-star LB in May
Sticking with a linebacker theme, there may not be a better time than now in the last decade to recruit the position with the momentum Ohio State has thanks to James Laurinaitis. Whether it be in-state Ohio guys or even the national prospects, the Buckeyes are clicking and developing their players at a very high level and that’s attracting young talent at the prep level.
New names being added to the guest list for spring practice each day, Ohio State learned yesterday they will host four-star linebacker Jhadyn Nelson on May 29 for an official visit. A 6-foot-3, 210 pound athlete out of Houston, Texas, Nelson has really seen his recruitment pick up recently. Now over 20 offers to his name, Jhadyn’s list includes the likes of Miami, Ohio State, SMU, Texas, Texas A&M, and a host of others.
Making his way to multiple campuses beginning in May, Nelson is seeing the Buckeyes right in the middle of other planned trips. The furthest trek from home scheduled, Ohio State will look to make him feel comfortable leaving the Lone Star state during his time spent in Columbus.
Quick Hits
Ohio State will play host in the near future to Tennessee native Kesean Bowman. A five-star prospect, Bowman is listed as the No. 31 player nationally and sixth best receiver in the 2027 class per the 247Sports Composite.
No real leader in his recruitment thus far, Ohio State will look to change that this spring when he heads to Columbus.
