If you follow our site, you know we are heavy on coverage of recruiting rankings using 247Sports. But that’s obviously not the only recruiting service out there. A few of the others include Rivals, Bleacher Report, and ESPN.

It’s the last of those three that just updated its most recent team recruiting rankings (subscription required), and there’s not much of a change for Ohio State. It remains the No. 1 overall class for 2021 according to the worldwide leader in sports programming, and for good reason.

Things have slowed down considerably with the recruiting news for Ohio State, but boy did it have one whale of a two-month period in March and April to bring things to where they are today. The class currently has 16 four and five-star recruits according to the rankings.

Before we tell you what ESPN said about the class, it’s worth noting that the top ten behind the Buckeyes consist of Tennessee, Clemson, North Carolina, Florida, USC, Oregon, Michigan, Texas, and Miami.
