Ohio State football’s top remaining 2025 target sets commitment date

Sanders Jr. would be a massive pickup for the Buckeyes

Although Ohio State football currently has the country’s top 2025 recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings, it still wants a few more elite players to join the group.

The biggest remaining target, both literally and figuratively, is North Carolina offensive tackle [autotag]David Sanders Jr.[/autotag] The 6-foot, 6-inch and 290-pound mauler is the nation’s No. 2 overall prospect and top ranked tackle according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Sanders took multiple official visits during May and June, including one to Columbus. That trip clearly went well for him as he has now set his commitment date, on August 17th. He will choose from his four finalists: Nebraska, Tennessee, Georgia and Ohio State.

Sanders is arguably the most important recruit of the cycle for the Buckeyes, as they haven’t had the best luck recruiting elite tackles for the past few classes.

It’s hard to say where he is leaning to, as the only 247Sports Crystal Ball pick for Sanders is to Clemson, who is not one of the schools that he will choose from.

Five-Star offensive tackle set to visit Ohio State

Five-Star tackle set to visit Ohio State #GoBucks

This weekend is going to be a huge weekend for Ohio State football recruiting, and among the many recruits visiting Columbus is a five-star offensive tackle from the state of North Carolina. David Sanders Jr. is a consensus top-five player in the country and described as a plug and play readymade starter.

Justin Frye will no doubt be pulling all the stops to get the attention of the class of 2025 tackle, but will it work?

A fair complaint that many have about the Frye tenure is his inability to get the big fish, and although I disagree with the Frye haters out there, this gripe is a legitimate one. The good news is that Sanders cancelled his visit to Alabama in favor of Ohio State, so that should certainly be taken as a good sign.

Ohio State football hosted a surprise 5-star offensive tackle over this weekend

This is getting interesting with the 5-star and the Buckeyes

Ohio State football has a massive need for offensive lineman in the 2025 recruiting cycle and one of its top targets was on campus this weekend.

[autotag]David Sanders Jr.[/autotag], the 2025 North Carolina offensive tackle made the trip to Columbus this past weekend, a visit that many did not see coming. The nations No. 2 overall prospect and top offensive tackle according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, is a priority Buckeye recruit, so this unofficial visit is extremely promising.

Ohio State has not been viewed as the leader for Sanders Jr., but after this weekend that might be changing. He has scheduled an official visit as well, with that trip coming the weekend of June 21st.

This is a big development as right now the Buckeyes have just one tackle committed in the class, Carter Lowe. Pairing those two would be a dream scenario for Ohio State.
