The Ohio State Buckeyes are rolling during the recruiting cycle and while other Big Ten schools are struggling, Ohio State is thriving. It made another offer to a class of 2026 star in homegrown linebacker, Jakobe Clapper, a linebacker from St. Xavier.
Clapper has been receiving offers left and right according to his X (formerly Twitter) page and that includes other Big Ten teams like the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. I don’t expect every fan to be aware of Clapper’s game, but most fans from the Buckeye state are likely aware of the dominance of St. Xavier and the riches that Ohio State has been able to pull from that school in recent years like Paris Johnson Jr. and Justin Hilliard.
Clapper is currently listed as a three-star prospect according to 247 Sports, but based on his offer list, that is sure to change.
I’m honored to receive an offer from The Ohio State University. #goBuckeyes@OhioStateFB @StXFB @COACHSPECHT28 @JLaurinaitis55 @Brodbeckj02 @RUNBYU @AllenTrieu @Dale_Dowden pic.twitter.com/ZVGfZxRLDK
