USC sees 5-star defensive end decommit while on Ohio State official visit

This is great news for the Buckeyes. #GoBucks

In recruiting, it’s always a good idea to see what a recruit does and when he does it, and on Tuesday it worked out very well for Ohio State football.

Georgia 2025 defensive end, [autotag]Isaiah Gibson[/autotag], started his official visit to the Buckeyes and shortly after it started, the 6-foot, 4-inch, 245-pound pass rusher decommitted from USC. If you are reading between the lines, you have to think this is a good sign for Ohio State.

It’s not a coincidence with the timing, as the nation’s No. 36 overall prospect and 2nd edge according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings made the decision while touring Columbus. The in-house 247Sports Rankings has Gibson a bit higher, at No. 17, making him a 5-star.

Currently Ohio State has commitments in the 2025 class from Zahir Mathis, and London Merritt at the position, but could add two, possibly three most on the defensive line.
