Ohio State football offers 2026 cornerback

Still out recruiting. #GoBucks

Ohio State football has put out their third cornerback offer in the 2026 class on Friday as Ksani Jiles has received an offer from the Buckeyes.

The 6-foot-0, 170 pound cornerback attends IMG Academy High School in Florida.  He is rated as a four-star recruit on On3 Industry rankings ranking as the 18th corner in the class.

Jiles was originally committed to Miami, however decommited from the Hurricanes in February. He also has offers from 17 other schools including USC, Penn State, Notre Dame, LSU, Florida, and Washington, among others.

Jiles has two seasons of high school football left to play before college as part of the 2026 class, so he still has plenty of time to come to a decision.

Ohio State is currently building a loaded class of cornerback recruits in 2025 with Na’eem Offord, Devin Sanchez, and Blake Woodby, all committed to the Buckeyes. They will look to replicate a strong cornerback class in 2026.

Florida offers trio of IMG Academy defensive backs

Billy Napier’s recruiting staff is always looking for talent out of IMG Academy, and the new secondary coach has caught on to the trend quickly.

A day after Christmas, the Florida Gators presented an offer to IMG Academy cornerback Major Preston.

The class of 2025 defensive back took to Twitter after receiving the offer, tagging Florida’s new defensive backs coach Will Harris as well as head coach Bill Napier.

Florida isn’t the first SEC team to offer Preston, though. Ole Miss has already thrown its hat in the ring alongside Florida A&M, Georgia Tech, Liberty, Marshall and Virginia Tech, according to Swamp247.

“Coach Will, he had hit me up on messages, asking to get on the phone,” Preston said. “He called me, we had a great conversation, and he offered me.”

Harris has looked to establish a relationship with IMG Academy since touching down in Gainesville. He also offered two rising stars from the class of 2026 — Zechariah Fort and Ksani Jiles.

Preston and Jiles are both unranked right now on 247Sports, but Fort checks in at No. 20 nationally on the composite rankings. Harris is clearly looking to keep the in-state powerhouse as a pipeline for the Gators. Getting Preston on campus is the next step.

The plan is to get Preston in town during the spring, so he can get a feel for the program and school. It will be his first time in Gainesville and meeting the staff in person. No dates are penciled in just yet.

Preston has only made two visits so far during his recruitment — a trip to Blacksburg, Virginia to see Tech beat Pitt and a stop in Miami during the fall.
