The Ohio State football program has already put together one whale of a recruiting class for 2021, but there’s still a little more room left with some big fish still out there to hook.
One of those is five-star offensive tackle Tristan Leigh out of Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax, Virginia. The six-foot, five-inch, 270-pounder is rated as the No. 3 offensive tackle and eleventh overall recruit for in the entire 2021 class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He would be a huge addition to what is already widely considered the top recruiting class in the country.
And as a bit of good news for Ohio State, Leigh included the Buckeyes in his top five released on Thursday.

The other four schools in Leigh’s announcement include Alabama, Oklahoma, Clemson, and LSU.
The Buckeye staff has begun to increase its efforts for Leigh as of late, and where he ends up is pretty wide open, though most experts believe he is a slight lean to Clemson at the moment.
We’ll stay on top of any further developments with his recruitment.
