ESPN updates its 2021 college football recruiting class rankings. What does it say about Ohio State?

ESPN has updated its 2021 college football recruiting rankings and Ohio State continues to set the bar. Here’s what it all looks like.

ESPN’s thoughts on Ohio State’s 2021 recruiting class

“Ryan Day signed the No. 5-ranked class in February, and he is in line for his first No. 1 class as a head coach. A pair of five-stars headline the class in No. 1 overall Jack Sawyer, an in-state defensive end, and Virginia running back TreVeyon Henderson. The signal-caller is ESPN 300 Kyle McCord, and he will throw to high school teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. at the next level. The Buckeyes’ class is built with players from across the nation, with versatile ESPN 300 DL Tunmise Adeleye out of IMG Academy via Houston, ESPN 300 OG Donovan Jackson from the Houston area, ESPN 300 CB Jakailin Johnson out of Missouri, ESPN 300 RB Evan Pryor out of North Carolina, ESPN 300 WR Denzel Burke out of Arizona, ESPN 300 ATH Andre Turrentine out of Tennessee and ESPN 300 ATH Jantzen Dunn out of Kentucky. In-state ESPN 300 prospects in the fold are DT Mike Hall, WR Jayden Ballard, ILB Reid Carrico, OT Ben Christman and S Jaylen Johnson.”

Remember too, right now, the class only sits at 19 members and there’s still room for five or six more — with some big fish still sitting out there. Ohio State is in the thick of the running for the class of 2021’s No. 1 rated class, but it’ll likely have to hold off some of the traditional big boys who will no doubt close very well.
