The 2024 recruiting classes were finalized on Wednesday with the passing of national signing day. That means it’s time to rank them.
When it comes to the Big Ten, there is one major winner. It should be no surprise the Ohio State Buckeyes are one of the winners, especially after their strong finish. Paul Myerberg from USA TODAY Sports was one person who included the Buckeyes.
Here’s what Myerberg had to say about Ohio State:
Sayin is the second impressive prospect to join the Buckeyes’ quarterback room, following December signee Air Noland. After landing five-star defensive lineman Eddrick Houston during the early period, Ohio State added a key flip in former Washington commitment Dominic Kirks. While the defensive line was a point of concern in recruiting leading into December, the threesome of Houston, Kirks and Eric Mensah is a solid group given where things stood before the first signing date. Overall, the Buckeyes are headed for another top-five class and one of the top two classes in the Big Ten. Ohio State has also been on a tear in recruiting for the 2025 class, recently adding a second five-star cornerback to the currently eight-member class in Alabama prospect Na’eem Offord.
Myerberg also mentioned a couple of losers during the piece from national signing day. The Washington Huskies were one of those unfortunate teams, which makes sense given their coaching transition.
Here is what Myerberg had to say about the Huskies 2024 recruiting finish:
While Fisch has done a good job replenishing the Huskies’ ranks, losing DeBoer to Alabama decimated what had been a very strong haul of defensive linemen. Beyond losing Carter to the Tide, the Huskies lost edge rushers Ratumana Bulabalavu and Jaxson Jones to Southern California and Oregon, respectively, while fast-rising prospect Keona Wilhite signed on Wednesday with Nebraska.
