Ohio State football commit trying to help recruit another in-state target

Nave Jr. wants to see West link up with him in Columbus #GoBucks

It wasn’t that long ago when in-state offensive lineman [autotag]Marc Nave Jr.[/autotag] committed to Ohio State. He knew where he wanted to go and a spring visit helped seal the deal.

Now that Nave is in the fold, he’s looking to keep some of the best recruits from leaving the state. The lineman isn’t just looking at his own position group or even his side of the ball; he’s looking for the best prospects.

Enter Cleveland Glenville cornerback [autotag]Bryce West[/autotag]. He is rated as the No. 4 player at his position and 49th overall in the county according to the 247Sports composite.

The defender is on Nave’s list of players he would like to see join him in Columbus, and Nave has been going hard after him to try to add him to the 2024 class. See this tweet as proof.

West holds numerous offers from all across the country and is a priority Ohio State target, and Nave is doing his best to help out.

BOOM! Ohio State gets a commit from instate offensive lineman

A big instate BOOM! #GoBucks

Fresh off a visit for the start of [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag]’s spring practice, 2024 Toledo offensive lineman [autotag]Marc Nave Jr.[/autotag] didn’t need much time to think about where he wanted to continue his playing career.

Nave Jr. committed to the Buckeyes on Wednesday afternoon, making him the fourth verbal in the class and the second offensive lineman along with Indiana’s [autotag]Ian Moore[/autotag].

The Central Catholic lineman is expected to play on the interior, even though he has tackle size at 6-foot, 5-inches and weighing 315 pounds. He is rated as the 520th overall player and the No. 28 best interior offensive lineman in the country according to the 247Sports composite rankings.

Ohio State receives a crystal ball projection for recently offered offensive lineman

This Ohioan is trending to stay home #GoBucks

If there is one position Ohio State missed on during the 2023 recruiting cycle that makes the need in 2024 that much greater, it’s offensive tackle.

The Buckeyes signed Luke Montgomery, Joshua Padilla, Austin Siereveld, and Miles Walker as their offensive line group this past class, with Montgomery expected to be a guy in the mix. Walker is viewed as a viable tackle option as well, but he was the lowest-rated player in the class, so the Connecticut native is viewed as more of a project.

With three starters moving on along the offensive line from last season, that means the need is there for head coach [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] and offensive line coach [autotag]Justin Frye[/autotag] to rectify the situation in 2024. The good news is Bill Kurelic of 247Sports, an Ohio State insider, logged a crystal ball projection for in-state lineman [autotag]Marc Nave Jr.[/autotag] to join the Buckeye class.

The 6-foot, 5-inch, 315-pounder was offered this past week Nave Jr. played mostly guard in high school and he doesn’t have the prototypical size for a left tackle, he sure does for right tackle, boasting a 6-foot, 9-inch wingspan. He also has enough versatility to shuffle inside or outside like the Buckeye coaching staff has done in the past with [autotag]Paris Johnson Jr.[/autotag] and [autotag]Dawand Jones[/autotag] before moving them back to the outside.

It’s good news that Kurelic believes that Nave will end up with the Buckeyes; he is one of the most respected Ohio State insiders in the business.
