Michigan football has had a great deal of success recruiting the Buckeye State recently.
It started with cornerback Cam Calhoun’s commitment moments after the Wolverines beat rival Ohio State in Columbus in 2022. In the 2023 class, Michigan added linebacker Jason Hewlett and defensive back D’Juan Waller, both Ohio natives. In 2024, the maize and blue have so far secured pledges from offensive tackle Luke Hamilton, OT Ben Roebuck, defensive tackle Ted Hammond and running back Jordan Marshall. The latter was OSU’s top in-state priority in the recruiting cycle. Now the Wolverines are looking to pull a few more that the Buckeyes want.
Atop the board is cornerback Aaron Scott from Springfield (Ohio). The No. 11 player in the country according to On3, he, along with Glenville standout Bryce West, are top priorities for both rival schools. Scott released his top 12 on Monday night, and Michigan made the cut, along with Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon, USC, Florida State, Notre Dame, Kentucky, Louisville, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Pitt.

Ohio State is the 247Sports crystal ball leader, so Michigan will need to do some work to reel him in. The battle for his pledge looks to be among the Wolverines, Buckeyes and Kentucky Wildcats at the moment.
