Ohio State: The top-10 ranked recruits in their class of 2023

The Buckeyes should remain competitive for the foreseeable future, having recruited 10 of the top 150 players in the 2023 cycle going by the composite rankings.

Ohio State may have lost the commitment of the top overall 2024 recruit, quarterback Dylan Raiola. However, the future is still bright for this program that just missed out on playing in the national championship game last season by a matter of inches.

Even after they lose starting quarterback C.J. Stroud in the upcoming 2023 NFL draft, the Buckeyes should remain competitive for the foreseeable future, having recruited 10 of the top 150 players in the 2023 cycle going by the composite rankings. Here’s who they are and where they rank compared to the rest of their class.

The Ohio State football recruiting class of 2023 is complete and despite some murmurs of negativity in the crowd, this class is fantastic from top to bottom. One of the gems of the class is four-star cornerback, Jermaine Mathews from Winton Woods in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Mathews was a bit of a late riser in this class and was once viewed as just an athlete before being listed as a corner on most recruiting sites. He finished this cycle as a consensus top 150 player in this class and top 15 cornerbacks according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. It is also nice to see Ryan Day and Co. snag a top-five talent in Ohio.

Let’s dive into what he is capable of:

Name: Jermaine Mathews

High School: Winton Woods (Cincinnati, OH)

Height: 6 feet

Weight: 175 pounds

4-Star Cornerback
