Ohio State 5-star cornerback target commits to other Big Ten school

One got away … #GoBucks

Ohio State football and its recruiting efforts have been stellar so far this cycle, but you can’t get them all to go your way, not even close. After already landing some pretty highly-touted defensive backs, the Buckeyes had one main priority left to put a bit of a bow on the secondary for the 2025 class, and it was 5-star cornerback Dorian Brew.

Unfortunately for OSU in this case, the target committed elsewhere, the Oregon Ducks in fact, a program that’s been on a pretty good role in nabbing prospects as of late. Brew is ranked as the No. 5 cornerback and 27th overall prospect in the class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Out of Conroe, Texas, but with Ohio ties, you have to wonder if the haul Ohio State already has in the defensive backfield was a factor. Either way, the Buckeyes are still more than fine in the back-end of the defense for 2025, but it sure would have been nice to put a cherry on top.

Things are sure to keep on coming in the way of recruiting news, so we’ll remain on top of it all and bring anything substantial to you as it happens.

Oregon Ducks land massive commitment with 5-star CB Dorian Brew

Oregon’s Class of 2025 gets stronger with the commitment of cornerback Dorian Brew out of Texas.

Something is definitely brewing in Eugene.

The Oregon Ducks football program and Dan Lanning just received a huge commitment from five-star cornerback Dorian Brew out of Conroe, Texas.

Brew’s commitment is the latest Oregon obtained this week. The No. 3 tight end (Da’Saahn Brame), the No. 5 running back (Jordan Davison) and the No. 7 defensive lineman (Josiah Sharma) also committed to the Ducks this week.

On 247sports.com, Brew has a player rating of 94 and a composite of 0.9841. He had offers from Florida State, Kentucky and Houston among others, but chose the Ducks.

It’s been a huge week in recruiting for Lanning and his staff. The class of ’25 might have had a slow start, but with this latest commitment, the Ducks are on their way to having another top 10 class coming to Eugene.

LSU enlists Patrick Peterson to help land top-five cornerbacks during crucial visit weekend

Patrick Peterson showed up to help LSU land some top defensive back talent, including No. 1 cornerback DJ Pickett.

LSU had an eventful recruiting weekend in Baton Rouge, headlined by two of the top five cornerbacks in the 2025 cycle — [autotag]DJ Pickett[/autotag] (No. 1) and [autotag]Dorian Brew[/autotag] (No. 4).

If the Tigers could land one or both, it would only solidify what is already one of the top recruiting classes in the nation. And to help make that push, LSU brought in quite the ringer.

Former star cornerback and current NFL free agent [autotag]Patrick Peterson[/autotag] was in the building pitching Pickett and Brew on joining “DBU.” Pickett is the top current target on the Tigers’ board, and LSU may be the frontrunner with Oregon, Miami and Florida in the mix as well, according to LSU Country’s Zack Nagy.

Pickett and Brew were two of several five-star prospects on campus this weekend, and while LSU is still reeling from the decommitment of [autotag]Dakorien Moore[/autotag] — who it remains in the mix for — its No. 2-ranked class could retake the top spot if this weekend proves to have been fruitful.

LSU football gearing up for crucial recruiting weekend

The Tigers are hosting quite a few blue-chippers this weekend.

LSU is already off to a strong start recruiting in the 2025 cycle, and things could be going even better depending on how this weekend plays out.

The Tigers are playing host to several big-time visitors, including multiple five-star prospects. The headliner is [autotag]DJ Pickett[/autotag], a top-10 recruit and the nation’s top defensive back.

In addition to Pickett, five-star receivers [autotag]Kaliq Lockett[/autotag] and [autotag]Jaime Ffrench[/autotag] will be in town. The latter was previously committed to Alabama but backed off his pledge following Nick Saban’s retirement.

Rounding out the list are five-star cornerback [autotag]Dorian Brew[/autotag], five-star offensive lineman [autotag]Solomon Thomas[/autotag] — the top interior lineman in the nation who is currently committed to Florida State — and four-star defensive lineman [autotag]Zion Williams[/autotag] round out the list.

LSU already has a class that ranks in the top five nationally (fifth per 247Sports and second per On3). But if it can keep its current crop of commits in place and add a few more blue-chippers, it has the chance to be a truly special class.

5-star CB Dorian Brew to announce commitment soon; Oregon Ducks among finalists

The Oregon Ducks are among the finalists to land 5-star cornerback Dorian Brew, who will announce his commitment later this month.

The Oregon Ducks have a chance to land a massive recruit in the coming days, with one of the best defensive backs getting set to announce his commitment later this month.

5-star cornerback Dorian Brew announced that he will make his verbal commitment on January 24th, deciding between the Ducks, Ohio State Buckeyes, Michigan Wolverines, Texas Longhorns, and Penn State Nittany Lions.

Brew stands at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, and is rated as the No. 4 CB and the No. 15 overall player in the 2025 class.

At the moment, the Ducks have the No. 11 class in the nation for the 2025 cycle, with four commitments. Should Brew commit to Oregon, he would be the first defensive member of the class.

Georgia football offers 5-star 2025 CB Dorian Brew

Georgia football offers 5-star 2025 CB Dorian Brew

Class of 2025 cornerback recruit Dorian Brew received a scholarship offer from Georgia football on Thursday.

Brew (6-foot-2, 185 pounds) is one of the top cornerback recruits in his class. The Conroe High School (Texas) star is rated as the No. 4 cornerback, the No. 19 player in the 2025 class and the No. 6 player in the state of Texas, per 247Sports Composite rankings.

Brew also runs track, posting 100-meter times of 10.75, 10.80 and 10.84 as a sophomore in 2023. Georgia is always looking for speed at defensive back.

Both of Brews’ parents ran track at the collegiate level. His father, Derrick Brew, for LSU and his mother, Donica Merriman, for Ohio State. Derrick Brew is an Olympic gold medalist, while Donica Merriman is a member of the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame.

The Buckeyes are projected to land Brew by 247Sports with Michigan, Texas, Penn State and Oregon also in the mix.

Smart and the Georgia staff signed two highly-touted recruits from Brew’s hometown in the 2024 class, five-star linebacker Justin Williams and five-star defensive tackle Joseph Jonah-Ajonye.

Brew will make his college decision on Jan. 24. Georgia did not make Brew’s top five schools that he named on Jan. 10.

 

 

Penn State makes top five of elite 2025 CB with decision looming

Penn State hoping to beat out 3 Big Ten foes for four-star cornerback in Class of 2025 as commitment date approaches.

Even though the 2023-24 season didn’t end as Penn State and their fans may have wanted, it’s clear that what they’ve done the past few years as resonated with recruits across the country.

They finished with a top-15 recruiting class in 2024 and are off to a good start with the 2025 group.

[autotag]James Franklin[/autotag] and his staff got some good news when an elite cornerback put them in his top five list with his decision set to be made on Jan. 24.

Four-star [autotag]Dorian Brew[/autotag] is a 6’1″ 200 pound cornerback from Texas who is the 21st overall player in the 2025 class according to On3’s industry rankings. 247Sports views him the most favorably out of the four major recruiting sites, with Brew coming in as their 16th best player.

Along with Penn State, the others in his top five are Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon and Texas.

The only school he hasn’t visited is Oregon, but he’s not planning on taking more visits before his commitment is announced later in January.

On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine gives Ohio State overwhelming odds of landing the talented corner with a 98.3% chance. Penn State was not given any chance to land Brew, even though they made his top five.

For all intents and purposes, it seems like he is headed to Columbus.

His mom was a track and field athlete with the Buckeyes and is in their Hall of Fame. His announcement date on Jan. 24 is on his mother’s birthday with the intention to honor her.

All signs are pointing to Penn State missing on this elite cornerback, but getting included in the top five is a good sign for how top players across the country are viewing this program.

2025 5-Star CB out of Conroe (TX) has placed Texas A&M in his Top 10 program list

2025 5-Star cornerback Dorian Brew has included Texas A&M in his initial Top 10 program list.

Before Jimbo Fisher’s dismissal last Sunday, recruiting had already taken a back seat. At the same time, many Aggie fans pondered Fisher’s future at the helm, but with associate head coach Elijah Robinson now taking over in the interim role with three games remaining this season, the future suddenly feels much brighter, and prospects are noticing.

Focusing on the 2025 cycle, five-star cornerback Dorian Brew, an elite defensive prospect who has been on the Aggies’ radar since Fisher offered him on June 13, has begun to narrow down his options, and you can be sure that he’ll be paying close attention to how the Aggie’s finish out the 2023 season, combined with the impending announcement of who will replace Fisher in 2024 and beyond.

On Thursday, the 6’2 195 CB from Conroe (TX) released his Top 10 program list, which includes Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Florida, Florida State, Oklahoma, TCU, Oregon, Penn State, and Texas A&M.

According to 247Sports Composite, Brew is currently positioned as the 21st-ranked player in the 2025 cycle, the 4th-ranked cornerback, and the 5th-ranked player in Texas. Originally from Northmont, Ohio, Brew and his family moved to Conroe before the 2023 season, placing him in prime position for Power 5 scouts.

After taking an unofficial visit to College Station on June 17, any future visits will likely depend on the future coaching regime to take over at Texas A&M.

Ohio State football makes top-10 for former in-state cornerback

Will another Brew don the Scarlet and Gray?

It was a surprise to many when 2025 cornerback [autotag]Dorian Brew[/autotag] left Ohio to continue his high school career in Texas, but the distance wasn’t going to stop Ohio State from recruiting him.

The tenacity paid off on Thursday, as Brew, a 6-foot, 2-inch and 185-pounder, named his top-10 schools. The Buckeyes made this cut, as did some of their Big Ten rivals Michigan, Penn State, and soon to be Oregon.

The competition will be fierce for the No. 4 cornerback and 21st overall player in the country according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Ohio State has one advantage that the other schools don’t, Brew’s mother Donica was a track star of the Buckeyes and is a member of the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame.

Brew’s father, Derrick, won a Bronze medal in the 2004 Olympic Games in the 4×400 relay, so the family is full of high-level athletes. The hope is that the Buckeyes can get Dorian to return to Columbus and join his mother’s alma mater.

Ohio State predicted to land 2025 five-star corner

It’s looking good for Ohio State on this one, but a long way to go. #GoBucks

Ohio State’s cornerback recruiting has been very strong in recent months; it landed three corners in the 2024 class over the summer.

This includes Aaron Scott who attends Springfield High School in Ohio and was the latest to commit. He is a four-star recruit, the 43rd-ranked player overall and fourth-ranked corner on the 247 composite.

Bryce West is also an Ohio native who attends Glenville High School and committed to Ohio State in June. He is a four-star ranked 50th nationally overall and fifth among corners.

Miles Lockhart also committed to the Buckeyes this summer. The four-star recruit out of Arizona is ranked as 27th among corners in the 2024 class.

With the 2024 cornerback class set in stone, the Buckeyes’ recruiting focus is shifting toward 2025. Dorian Brew is an obvious high-priority target for Ohio State. The five-star recruit is the top ranked player in Ohio and 27th overall nationally.

The Buckeyes appear in the lead to land the Ohio native as On3’s recruiting insider Mike Singer predicted he would go to Ohio State.

Landing Brew would be massive for the Buckeyes’ 2025 class and it appears they are off to a good start to his recruitment.
