The Ohio State football program has made the cut for one of the best cornerbacks in the 2023 class. At 6-foot, 1-inches, and 165-pounds, Cormani McClain out of Lakeland, Florida, is ranked as the No. 3 cornerback and 20th overall prospect in the recruiting cycle according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
His final five schools were released through popular recruiting edit guru Hayes Fawcett, and OSU is among Alabama, Florida, Miami, and Florida State. There’s no mention of a decision looming soon, but if it were to go the Buckeyes’ way, it would be the first commitment for the 2023 class.
Good news would also stem the recent trend of bad news for Ohio State recruiting. Though Ryan Day still has OSU among the top five for the 2022 class, the Buckeyes have lost a couple of commitments over the past week and a half.

As of right now, the crystal ball predictions have McClain leaning heavily towards the Seminoles, but we all know how that can change so early in a prospect’s recruitment.
We’ll continue to keep an eye on any further developments with McClain’s recruitment and where things are headed.
