Where each 2023 Ohio State football recruit landed on 247Sports updated rankings

It’s no surprise that this class is ranked as one of the best in the country. #GoBucks

When you assemble one of the top-rated recruiting classes in the country, you are bound to have plenty of players who are among the highest-rated in the nation. That is exactly the case for Ryan Day and his Ohio State Buckeyes football program.

The evidence is here, as 247Sports has updated their Top 247 recruits and it is littered with Buckeye commitments. In total there were twelve future OSU stars that made the list with room to add a few more before the early signing period and the traditional signing day in February. Find out below where each of those 12 verbal commits landed in the updated rankings.

(Note: This list has now been updated from 12 to 13 players with the verbal commitment from quarterback [autotag]Lincoln Kienholz[/autotag] on Wednesday, December 14th.)

Five star Ohio State wide receiver commit will wait until February to sign

Not the best news for the Bucks

This was not the news we wanted to hear, as five-star wide receiver [autotag]Brandon Inniss[/autotag] has told 247Sports that he will likely wait until February to sign with a school. This decision by Inniss is two-fold, he wants to be coached by [autotag]Brian Hartline[/autotag], who has tweeted he isn’t going anywhere, and [autotag]Deion Sanders[/autotag] moved to [autotag]Colorado[/autotag].

The Florida receiver told Andrew Ivins that he’s “going to wait until February to sign, just so I can let everything play out and make sure 100 percent where he (Hartline) will be.” Inniss did go and say that he could sign in the early period if Hartline is still in Columbus but there was another factor, Sanders.

The current Jackson State head coach is reportedly taking the open position at Colorado and has already been recruiting Inniss to join him. Coach Prime has told Inniss “that he wanted me to join him,” if he were to leave JSU. Inniss wants to play for a Power Five school so Sanders’ current position at Jackson State isn’t an option but the Buffs would be.

Now, Inniss did take to Twitter to calm Ohio State fans’ and coaches’ fears, but this is big-time college football recruiting, and things change often until there’s a signature on that piece of paper.

Ivins also notes that a few other schools are still actively recruiting Inniss, such as Miami and Alabama, but it doesn’t seem like either of those schools is really in contention for Inniss’ signature.

This is a situation to monitor, even if the Buckeyes are in a very good position with receivers in the 2023 class as [autotag]Carnell Tate[/autotag], [autotag]Noah Rogers[/autotag], and [autotag]Bryson Rodgers[/autotag] also in the fold. [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] and Hartline have some work to do to keep Inniss in the class even though he did Tweet out earlier that he’s still locked in.

Updated Oklahoma Sooners 2023 commitment tracker

Which players have committed to the Oklahoma Sooners for the 2023 recruiting cycle?

The 2023 class is about a month away from early signing day and less than three months away from national signing day.

Since Brent Venables’ arrival in Norman, the Sooners have been one of the top recruiting schools in the country over the last two cycles. After finishing eighth in 247Sports team recruiting rankings for 2022, the Sooners sit at No. 7 and have a great chance to move into the top five by national signing day.

With the recent additions of Ashton Sanders and Taylor Wein, Oklahoma has 22 players committed to the 2023 class. Recent projections favor the Sooners to add more talent if the Rivals Futurecasts come to fruition. Oklahoma received a pair of projections from Rivals analysts to land five-star safety and Notre Dame commit Peyton Bowen after he spent time in Norman for Bedlam.

Brent Venables, his coaching staff, and the recruiting support staff have done an excellent job over the last year building out their 2023 recruiting class and they don’t appear close to being done.

The final tally will come on national signing day, but the Oklahoma Sooners look well-positioned to have one of the country’s best group of signees.

Let’s take a look at the updated commitment tracker.

As we eagerly await the kickoff of the contest between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, we can pass the time by monitoring some of the top high school prospects that have committed to the Buckeyes in the class of 2023. As it stands, Ohio State currently has the fourth-ranked class in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, but the hope is they will rise up these rankings.

This class appears to be offense-heavy with a few stud receivers and some intriguing offensive linemen, but the Buckeyes need to add some more defensive help. I wanted to provide a brief recap of some of the top recruits in the Ohio State class and how they have performed so far during their high school season.

Ohio State Football Recruiting: 2023 class commitment tracker

Ohio State Football Recruiting: 2023 class commitment tracker #GoBucks

The Ohio State football recruiting freight train is chugging along for the class of 2023 and as of right now 247 Sports , On3 and Sports Illustrated has ranked the Ohio State recruiting class number two in the country. As it currently stands on July 5, 2022, the Buckeyes have two five-star commits, 13 four-star commits, and a three-star legacy commit.

There were early concerns that the 2023 recruiting cycle may not be as kind to Ohio State as the state of Ohio looks to have a down year as far as talent and the reclassification of Sonny Styles, only makes that talent even more shallow, but Ryan Day and his crew are proving that big things are on the horizon no matter what recruiting obstacles they face.

Here is the recruiting tracker for the Ohio State recruiting class for 2023.

Ohio State football now has top recruiting class for 2023

Ohio State now has top 247Sports Composite recruiting class for 2023 #GoBucks

It feels like every day a new top recruit announces their allegiance and intentions to enroll at Ohio State. Last week three top receivers committed and this week we have already had a top cornerback announce his commitment

Now, it is still very early in the recruiting process, but if Ohio State can maintain its recruiting momentum, the Buckeyes will finish with the top class in all of college football. The most recent commitment from Kayin Lee allowed Ohio State to edge out Notre Dame and Texas for the top class in the country according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. The following are the current commits to Ohio State:

  1. Brandon Inniss, WR, 5 Star
  2. Carnell Tate, WR, 5 Star
  3. Luke Montgomery, OT, 4 Star
  4. Noah Rogers, WR, 4 Star
  5. Dijon Johnson, CB, 4 Star
  6. Ty Lockwood, TE, 4 Star
  7. Kayin Lee, CB, 4 Star
  8. Malik Hartford, S, 4 Star
  9. Joshua Padilla, IOL, 4 Star
  10. Cedrick Hawkins, S, 4 Star
  11. Mark Fletcher, RB, 4 Star
  12. Austin Siereveld, IOL, 4 Star
  13. Bryson Rodgers, WR, 4 Star
  14. Will Smith, DL, 3 Star

That’s quite the haul already with still plenty of room and plenty of prospects still looking at Ryan Day and the OSU program. Day is on pace to top 300 points for this class with a few more marquee players according to the 247Sports Composite, and that’s rare air indeed if you follow these sorts of things.

Ohio State twitter responds to three blue chip receivers committing in three days

The reactions were quick and celebratory after Ohio State landed another top-flight receiver on Wednesday. #GoBucks

You would be hard-pressed to find a recruiting haul that’s happened in a three-day period that’s better than what Ohio State football just encountered. On Monday, OSU won out in a heated recruiting battle between Tennessee and Notre Dame for 5-star receiver Carnell Tate.

On Tuesday, another 5-star receiver, Brandon Inniss, also pledged his allegiances to Ohio State. Not to be outdone, and to seemingly cap off a three-day boon, high 4-star receiving prospect Noah Rogers also verbally committed to the Buckeyes. Some feel he too will eventually end up being bumped up to a 5-star recruit.

Either way, the news means that Ohio State landed three of the top 50 players on 247Sports Composite Rankings in just three days. That, in itself, is almost unbelievable and remarkable.

After another huge recruiting win, Ohio State fans, players, and support personnel came out in full force to celebrate the last three days on Twitter, and we’ve tried to collect the best of them for you.

Here are some of the best Twitter reactions to the recruiting success Ohio State has had over the last 72 hours.

5-star wide receiver puts Ohio State in top six

Inniss is on campus this week and just included Ohio State in his top six. #GoBucks

This week is a big recruiting one for the Ohio State football program. It’s hosing a 7-on-7 camp, and that includes some wide receivers that are priority targets for the Buckeyes. One of those is 5-star 2023 wide receiver Brandon Inniss out of Four Lauderdale.

Inniss is one of the most sought-after receivers in the recruiting cycle. At 6-foot, 190-pounds, he is ranked as the No. 2 receiver and 18th overall prospect in the entire 2023 class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He holds offers from nearly every big-time FBS school out there, and he included Ohio State in his top six schools ahead of his visit to Columbus this week.

This is, of course, no surprise. It is largely believed that Inniss has OSU as one of his top two schools right now, with USC being the other. And with him visiting OSU this week, it goes without saying that you can expect Brian Hartline and the coaching staff to roll out the red carpet and try to make a lasting impression on the talented pass-catcher.

The other schools included in Inniss’ top six include Miami (FL), Alabama, LSU, and Texas A&M.

We’ll continue to stay on top of Inniss’ recruitment and where we hear things are going. There’s a good chance he’ll find his way to the banks of the Olentangy like we’ve seen other top receivers during Hartline’s tenure.

Alabama five-star WR target Brandon Inniss predicted to commit to Big Ten team

Alabama football may miss out on big-time recruit to Big Ten school

Alabama has been in high pursuit of class 2023 wide receiver [autotag]Brandon Inniss[/autotag], however, it is less likely now that the Tide will land him.

Inniss is the No. 18 overall player in the country regardless of position, and the No. 2 wide receiver. At 6’0 Inniss doesn’t have a super large frame, but he does come in at 190 pounds and is a playmaker in the open field.

The Tide has been in hot pursuit, however, it is beginning to look much more like the Ohio State Buckeyes are going to land the Fort Lauderdale, FL native. USC and Miami are also both in the running but are a clear three and four behind Alabama and Ohio State.

Stay tuned to Roll Tide Wire for continuous coverage of the Alabama Crimson Tide.
