The Buckeyes got a great one in Mathis. #GoBucks

Ohio State football gained a massive commitment on Wednesday when 2025 Pennsylvania defensive end, [autotag]Zahir Mathis[/autotag], joined the class.

The 6-foot, 6-inch, 225-pound pass rusher is one of the best prospects in the country, ranking as the No. 5 at his position and 37th overall according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Mathis had a who’s who offer list, showing that the Buckeyes still could recruit the position even though they had missed more than a few of their top targets over the last few cycles.

The skill set that Mathis will bring with him is tantalizing, especially after getting a chance to review his junior highlight film. Here is what to expect from the latest Ohio State commit when he arrives in Columbus.
