When looking back at the past two Ohio State football recruiting classes, there is a major need for defensive lineman.
The Buckeyes signed just two during this past early period, but there are potentially still a few that may be added. Regardless of the outcome of the uncommitted targets, Ohio State still needs to bring in multiple high-end lineman in the 2025 class.
One of those targets is Illinois pass rusher [autotag]Christopher Burgess[/autotag], will make his choice on January 6th, selecting from the Buckeyes, Notre Dame, Michigan and Alabama. At 6-foot, 4-inches and 240-pounds, he fits the mold of an impact player at the position that Ohio State needs.
