Ohio State football signed 21 prospects during the early signing period, a class that is ranked as the No. 5 class in the country according to the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings.
There was plenty of drama during that time, especially with wide receiver Jeremiah Smith waiting to send in his paperwork, and defensive end Eddrick Houston almost flipping to Alabama.
Both 5-stars ultimately signed with the Buckeyes, which helped keep the class inside the top-5 groups in the country. What happened next was extremely surprising, fifteen of those signees decided to enroll early. That’s great news because often the players who arrive on campus have a much better shot at contributing faster.
Here is the complete list of each Ohio State early enrollee, along with their recruiting rankings according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
