Ohio State is keeping the running back position at the front of their minds. That’s been seen with their latest commitment and also their latest offer.
Looking ahead to the 2028 class, the Buckeyes are now in the mix for Mississippi native Latrell Pogue after he took to his social media to share the latest update in his recruitment on Thursday. A 5-foot-11, 185 pound athlete, Ohio State joins the likes of nearly 20 others to give him the nod.
The No. 480 player nationally and the 30th best running
back in the class per the 247Sports Composite, Pogue has Arkansas, Cincinnati, Houston, Ole Miss, and others on his list of offers. Ohio State entering this recruitment is certainly his biggest offer to date.
Likely to cause other programs to take a closer look, getting him to campus will be next for the Buckeyes who like all that this three-star has to offer.
Another year of high school football to go, the potential for Pogue is exciting, and seeing what he’s done during his junior campaign is a big reason why the Buckeyes and Carlos Locklyn are paying attention. More names sure to pop over the coming months in that class, 2028 will be a cycle Ohio State prioritizes likely two at the position.
