Although Ohio State football gained a commitment from in-state 2025 offensive lineman Jake Cook, it wasn’t all good new for the Buckeyes this weekend.
Another top target, Alabama offensive tackle [autotag]Micah DeBose[/autotag], who at one point was trending to Ohio State, opted to stay home and play for the Crimson Tide. The 6-foot, 5-inch 315-pounder made his official visit to Columbus two weeks ago, but Ohio State couldn’t get him to join the class.
Alabama gets one of the top offensive lineman in the country. DeBose was ranked the nation’s No. 89 overall player and No. 8 at his position on the 247Sports composite.

Ohio State has Cook and high four-star Carter Lowe committed at the moment. There is still hope of reeling in a big prospect. Five-star David Sanders Jr. is currently on an official visit while another elite lineman, Josh Petty, took one last weekend.
