5-star 2022 quarterback prospect includes Ohio State in top seven

Ohio State appears to be a long shot here, but never say never. The Buckeyes are in the top seven, so there’s at least a chance.

Ohio State has several 4 and 5-star quarterbacks either already on the roster or coming to town looking to be the next great one at Ohio State. But it is also in the running for another 5-star quarterback for the 2023 class, Los Alamitos, California native Malachi Nelson.

He announced his top seven on Sunday and included OSU along with Notre Dame, Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama, Florida State, and USC. He teased it with a July 18 date which means we’ll all be on the lookout to see what happens next.

If Ohio State can land him, it would be another huge get and continue an amazing run at the quarterback spot. According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Nelson is ranked as the No. 2 quarterback and fifth prospect in the entire 2023 class.

The Oklahoma Sooners appear to have a leg up in the efforts to land Nelson, but we’ll see if that comes to fruition.
