Ranking Ohio State wide receivers by 247Sports composite recruiting rankings

Ranking Ohio State wide receivers by 247Sports composite recruiting ranking #GoBucks

The Ohio State football program has 13 wide receivers on scholarship and appears super deep. Still, as any Buckeye fan knows, this unit took a massive hit last season with the injury to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but the youngsters stepped up in a big way.

It was a bit shocking to see Xavier Johnson return, not that he was an early-round lock for the NFL, but he will undoubtedly get a shot at the next level. There is also a ton of excitement surrounding the stud freshman arriving on campus.

We rank the scholarship wide receivers on the roster based on their 247Sports recruiting rankings. You might be surprised by some of these …

Ohio State football recruiting class of 2022 scouting report: Kojo Antwi

Our scouting report and look at freshman wide receiver Kojo Antwi. #GoBucks

The Ohio State football program had a consensus top-five class in the country for 2022 and was considered the No. 1 class in the Big Ten by a wide margin. The receiving 2022 receiving corps may be even more talented than last year in the long run, and adding a talent like Kojo Antwi makes the future of the position even more intriguing.

It should be noted for those that are not familiar, recruiting classes are not like NFL draft classes. Many of these players will not see time as freshmen and will likely be redshirted. It’s also true that in the age of the transfer portal it is likely several players from this class will not be here at the end.

I wanted to at least take a dive into some of the top studs and we’ll start at the top of the recruiting class with wide receiver, Kojo Antwi and we have already previously dived into C.J. Hicks, Devin Brown, Kenyatta Jackson, Omari Abor, Kaleb Brown, Kyion Grayes, Gabe Powers, Tegra Tshabola and Caleb Burton.

BOOM! Wide receiver Kojo Antwi chooses Ohio State

Ohio State landed another big-time wide receiver prospect! Who would have thought the wins would be even bigger than when Urban Meyer was pulling the strings.

The BOOMs keep coming for the Ohio State football team. Yesterday, highly coveted J.T. Tuimoloau picked the Buckeyes. Today, Brian Hartline got his man: Kojo Antwi announced via his personal Twitter account that he’ll take his talents to Columbus.

Antwi is a four-star prospect and the 16th-ranked wide receiver in the 2022 class, according to 247Sports composite. This gives Ohio State three of the top 21 receivers in the class which include Caleb Burton, Kaleb Brown, and Kyion Grayes.

The crystal ball predictions were split where Antwi would land. Ultimately, the wideout spurned his home state Georgia Bulldogs as well as Texas A&M and others.

What a weekend it’s been for the Buckeyes. Ohio State has the top class for 2022 according to 247Sports class rankings with 15 players committed, including four players with five-star rankings. Ryan Day and the coaching staff are building something special on the banks of the Olentangy.

4-star WR Kojo Antwi makes commitment

Four-star wide receiver Kojo Antwi is the latest elite college football recruit to commit to the Ohio State Buckeyes football program

Four-star wide receiver Kojo Antwi has committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes football program. Antwi was a key Georgia Bulldogs and Texas A&M Aggies recruiting target. The Lambert High School star’s recruitment may not be over, but now he’s the latest elite wide receiver to commit to the Buckeyes.

The Suwanee, Georgia, native and the nation’s No. 16 receiver and No. 115 overall player. Antwi is a member of the class of 2022.

The schools vying the strongest for Antwi were Georgia, Texas A&M and Ohio State. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs were among the favorites, but Ohio State won out in the end.

The Buckeyes have been the nation’s best program at recruiting top-ranked wide receivers since Brian Hartline took over as wide receiver coach. Hartline, a former NFL and Ohio State wide receiver, is among the top recruiting coaches in the country regardless of position.

Antwi is very impressive after the catch. The 6-foot, 190-pound receiver racks up extra yardage after contact similar to former Ohio State star Curtis Samuel.

The four-star wide receiver visited UGA on June 4 and traveled to College Station, Texas, to visit the Aggies one week later. Antwi had USC and Alabama in his most recent top five.

Antwi locked in his commitment to the Ohio State Buckeyes on July 5. Antwi’s commitment video has the right touch, and we wish him the best:

Ohio State receiver target Kojo Antwi set to make college decision Monday, July 5

Tracking another blue-chip receiver. Could he add to the already embarrassment of riches at the position for OSU?

The Ohio State football team is hoping to add one more receiver to the class of 2022 and that commitment could come as early as Monday. Kojo Antwi announced via Twitter that he will share his decision at 11 a.m. EDT on July 5.

There are those who wonder how the Buckeyes have room for another receiver in what is already a full room. However, with the expected departures of Chris Olave and Garret Wilson after this season, transfers of Mookie Cooper and Jameson Williams earlier this year, as well as Jaylen Harris and Ellijah Gardiner both no longer on the roster, there is plenty of room for additions.

247Sports seems to be split on which way Antwi will go. The experts are split 50/50 between Ohio State and Antwi’s home state Georgia Bulldogs, with the Buckeyes having a slight advantage. Texas A&M is also still in the mix as well.

With J.T. Tuimoloau set to announce at 4 p.m. EDT today, this could be a huge holiday weekend for Ohio State. The Buckeye coaching staff is hoping for fireworks to start this afternoon and hopefully carry over into tomorrow morning.

4-star WR Kojo Antwi is ready to commit

Four-star wide receiver Kojo Antwi is a key Georgia Bulldogs recruiting target, who will decide among UGA, Texas A&M and Ohio State.

Four-star wide receiver Kojo Antwi is a key Georgia Bulldogs recruiting target. Now, the Lambert High School star has set his commitment date for July 5.

The Suwanee, Georgia, native and the nation’s No. 16 receiver and No. 115 overall player (247Sports) plans to commit at 11 a.m. on Monday.

The schools vying the strongest for Antwi are Georgia, Texas A&M and Ohio State. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs are the favorites, but it is not very clear cut.

Antwi is very impressive after the catch. The 6-foot, 190-pound receiver racks up extra yardage after contact similar to Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore.

The four-star wide receiver visited UGA on June 4 and traveled to College Station, Texas, to visit the Aggies one week later. Antwi had USC and Alabama in his most recent top five, but those programs are considered long shots in his recruitment.

Could Ohio State add another top wide receiver to the 2022 class?

Tracking another blue-chip receiver. Could he add to the already embarrassment of riches at the position for OSU?

The Ohio State football team already has an embarrassment of riches at the wide receiver position. With arguably the best receiving unit in the nation on campus, Brian Hartline has verbals from Caleb Burton, Kaleb Brown, and Kyion Grayes (247 Sports No. 3, No. 5, and No. 21 ranked receivers) in the class of 2022.

But that isn’t stopping the Buckeyes from trying to add more and the next name on the list is Kojo Antwi. Antwi is a Georgia native and is ranked as the No. 16 receiver in the class according to 247 Sports composite rankings. The 6-foot, 1-inch receiver made his way to Columbus for an official visit on June 18 and had a positive experience.

After taking his official visits this summer, Antwi is ready to make a decision and will announce his choice on July 5. It is widely believed to be a two-horse race between Ohio State and Georgia.

My gut tells me that Antwi stays home and goes to Athens, but never underestimate Brian Hartline’s draw. He’s been able to work his magic before.

We’ll find out on July 5 if the OSU wide receiver coach can pull off another heist and steal yet another top-rated receiver.

Report: 4-star WR Kojo Antwi, a Georgia target, sets commitment date

Report: 4-star UGA WR target Kojo Antwi has set his commitment date

According to DawgNation, 4-star wide receiver Kojo Antwi (Lamber High School/Suwanee, Georgia)has set his commitment date.

The nation’s No. 8 ranked receiver and No. 73 overall player (247Sports) will be making his commitment on July 5.

As Brandon Adams of DawgNation said on his podcast, the battle for Antwi is expected to come down to Georgia and Texas A&M.

Antwi made a visit to UGA on June 4 and then a trip to College Station, Texas to visit the Aggies one week later.

Jeff Sentell of DawgNation asked Antwi what the biggest plus is for each of his final schools (Texas A&M, Ohio State and Georgia).

Regarding UGA, Antwi told Sentell:

“The home state. I think the biggest plus is [receivers] Coach [Cortez] Hankton and him being real with me. Him being a genuine guy and wanting to develop me into the best player I can be.”

On a separate topic, Antwi told Sentell “I feel like Georgia made it clear that they were going to throw the ball more this year.”

Ohio State still in the hunt for top 2022 receiver from Georgia

Top 100 wide receiver 2022 prospect Kojo Antwi out of Georgia has scheduled a visit to see Ohio State coming up.

Brian Hartline and the Ohio State Buckeyes have been putting in work recruiting some of the best receiving talent in the country. Hartline has fast become known for his ability to get the top pass catchers to bring their talents to Columbus.

The Buckeyes have already received verbal commitments from the nation’s No. 1 receiver in five-star Caleb Burton and another in four-star Kiyon Graves. But the OSU wide receiver coach is hoping to add one more big name to the class.

Kojo Antwi is the No. 1 receiver out of the talent-rich state of Georgia and the No. 8 ranked wideout in the country according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Antwi has offers from all the big boys and trimmed his list to eight in late December. Included on his list were Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Texas A&M, South Carolina, and Southern Cal.

The highly sought-after receiver is in the process of scheduling campus visits once the NCAA ends the dead period and has scheduled a date to visit Ohio State. Antwi will head north to Columbus on the weekend of June 18-20 to check things out.

This would be yet another huge commitment if Hartline can continue to work his magic to bring another big-time receiver to the scarlet and gray. The Buckeye’s 2022 class currently sits at No. 1 in the nation.
