If programs like Ohio State are made on 3 and 4-star commitments, you could argue they become elite with the right 5-star prospects agreeing to play for the program.
In the case of the Buckeyes, they have signed a bushel of 5-star prospects, with it ramping up even more under Urban Meyer and through to Ryan Day now. In fact, there aren’t too many teams out there that have recruited — and landed — so many 5-star recruits since Meyer arrived on campus in 2012.
There are some we’re sure that you remember and are either still writing their OSU careers or doing big things in the NFL. Others may not have quite panned out to their lofty expectations coming out of high school.
We thought we would jog your memory just a wee bit by going through all of the 5-star prospects that eventually committed to Ohio State using the 247Sports Composite Rankings from 2013 on through to what’s also already verbally given their word for the 2022 class.
