Where Ohio State stands with the last of its top 2023 recruiting targets heading into the early signing period

Where things stand with some of Ohio State’s remaining priority targets for the 2023 class as we get closer to the early signing period.

We are just a few days away from the start of the early signing period for college football, and Ohio State still has some priority targets for the 2023 recruiting cycle that it hopes to land. As it stands, the Buckeyes have a total of 20 verbal commitments it should — barring any drama — get to put pen to paper on Wednesday, but the program is hoping that number grows by a few.

We know of three high-priority targets the Buckeyes are still working on, and here’s the latest of where each stands as we get into the eleventh hour in the high-stakes game and unpredictable nature of big-time college football recruiting.

Ohio State has the No. 7 overall class as it stands right now according to the 247Sports Team Composite rankings, and it looks like a locked-in top ten class that could vault into the top five, but there are sure to be some twists and turns the rest of the way.

Here is where things stand with the three remaining priority targets for the Ohio State football recruiting class of 2023.

Auburn running back target Jamarion Wilcox announces top 4 schools

Auburn extended an offer on Tuesday and is already in his top group.

Auburn offered three-star running back [autotag]Jamarion Wilcox[/autotag] on Tuesday and are now one of his top schools.

The Georgia native announced his top four schools Thursday afternoon and included the Tigers. They will be battling Ohio State, Clemson, and Kentucky for him.

He is ranked as the No. 39 running back and No. 573 overall recruit in the 247Sports Composite for the 2023 recruiting class. He is also the No. 54 player from Georgia.

The 5-foot-9, 195-pounder has only taken one official visit to Kentucky and has not yet visited the Plains but that could soon change now that they have offered him.

The Douglasville, Georgia product rushed for 2,059 yards and 29 touchdowns as a senior for South Paulding High School. He averaged 9.0 yards per carry and 187.2 yards per game.

Auburn already has one running back committed in their 2023 recruiting class, four-star [autotag]Jeremiah Cobb [/autotag]. He is the Tiger’s highest-rated recruit and the No. 5 running back in the country.

With Tank Bigsby potentially moving onto the NFL the Tigers are looking to add more depth to the room and Wilcox and Cobb would be a strong pairing.
