Ohio State makes the most recent cut for Maryland cornerback

The Buckeyes are still in the mix #GoBucks

The [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] cornerback room needs more bodies and that starts with recruiting. The Buckeyes need to add talented players in the 2024 cycle even after getting recruits Calvin Simpson-Hunt and Jermaine Matthews to sign and Davison Igbinosun, one of the top transfers at the position, in the 2023 cycle.

None of the three current commits in the 2024 class are at the position, so getting at least two, maybe three, will be a focus for head coach [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] and staff. They seem to have done enough to impress Maryland cornerback Ify Obidegwu, who included the Buckeyes in his top seven along with Alabama, Maryland, Oregon, Michigan, USC and Tennessee.

Obidegwu stands 6 feet, 1 inch, and weighs 185 pounds. He is rated as the 15th-best cornerback and No. 158 overall player on the 247Sports composite.

2024 DB Ify Obidegwu receives lands offer from Crimson Tide

Alabama offered St. Frances Academy’s Ify Obidegwu, who currently holds over 20 offers from various schools around the country.

Alabama has still been actively recruiting despite losing both their coordinators this offseason. Recently, the coaching staff extended a slew of offers to future high school targets. One of those that received an offer from the Tide was 2024 defensive back Ify Obidegwu.

Obidegwu plays for St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland. Several players in the past that have come from that particular school are Chris Braswell, Darrian Dalcourt, and Eyabi Okie.

Alabama has made it a priority to recruit in the D.C. area in recent years. Their emphasis has proved to pay off. Obidegwu currently has over 20 offers and is still a junior. At this time, Maryland leads in his recruitment, according to On3’s RPM. It will not be easy to pry him away from Mike Locksley and the Terrapins. However, Alabama has plenty of time to emerge as a contender in his recruitment.

Roll Tide Wire breaks down Ify Obidegwu’s recruiting profile.

Four-star cornerback from Maryland receives offer from Wisconsin

The Badgers offered Ify Obidegwu, a four-star cornerback from the class of 2024 on Tuesday.

The Badgers offered Ify Obidegwu, a four-star cornerback from the class of 2024 on Tuesday. The 6-foot-1 athlete has one more year of high school football at St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland before he will likely join a collegiate program.

Wisconsin became the teenager’s 27th Division 1 offer, with a handful of those offers coming from within the Big Ten, including Michigan and Penn State. Tennessee, Oklahoma and USC are also in on the cornerback, proving that the Badgers have their work cut out for them in acquiring his talents.

If they’re able to bring in Obidegwu, he’d join fellow cornerback Austin Alexander (Chicago Heights, Illinois) as a member of Wisconsin’s class of 2024 defense.
