Ohio State football was on recruiting hot steak recently, but things have cooled off a bit, and Friday afternoon continued with that trend.
The Buckeyes were one of six schools that 2025 Texas Running Back, [autotag]Tory Blaylock[/autotag], selected from on Friday afternoon, and it was Oklahoma winning out for his commitment. He is a solid recruit, as he ranks as the nation’s No. 17 running back and 219th overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Although his ranking seems a bit low, Blaylock had offers from virtually every major school in the country. It did seem like Ohio State had a few others higher on its recruiting board though, so a small silver lining.

Running back recruiting is something to watch for the Buckeyes, as we all know that Tony Alford left for Michigan and no one occupies the position currently. Will it hurt recruiting? We will find out soon.
