Ohio State is back on top of the team recruiting rankings once again. After briefly falling behind Alabama for the top-ranked class for 2021, the Buckeyes gained a commitment from four-star defensive tackle Tyleik Williams on Thursday that will vault it back to No. 1.
Williams took to Twitter Thursday evening to pledge his commitment to the Ryan Day and the Buckeyes. Assistant coaches Larry Johnson and Al Washington have been instrumental in bringing home the No. 10 rated defensive tackle and top 200 overall prospect in the class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
By picking Ohio State, it now gives the program a total of 19 commitments for the class as it looks to add the final touches on a class that should still be able to add more as long as all the guidance and decision-makers with the NCAA don’t throw a wrench in things with how the fall postponement affects scholarship numbers.
