Top transfer portal safety has Ohio State in top three

Would be a solid edition to the Ohio State secondary. #GoBucks

After losing several defensive backs to the transfer portal including safeties Kye Stokes and Cam Martinez, Ohio State may be looking to add to the room. One of the best available has listed Ohio State in his top three.

Kamari Ramsey is listed as the No. 2 safety in the portal and could be headed to Columbus. Ramsey spent the past two seasons in southern California at UCLA where he’s tallied 45 tackles, four pass deflections, and one interception. With good size, the California native stands at 6-1 and weighs 205.

The Buckeyes are battling what will be two other Big Ten schools come next year in USC and Washington.

Ramsey would be a nice pick up to add depth to the Ohio State secondary. We’ll keep you up to date as more develops in his recruitment.

On3’s predicts Ohio State to flip 4-star Minnesota safety commit

On3’s Matt Parker predicted 4-star Minnesota safety commit Koi Perich to flip to the Buckeyes.

With the early signing period just one week away it is a busy time period in college football recruiting.  Most of the 2024 class has already made their commitment, but nothing is official until pen meets paper which means a lot of recruiting currently is attempting to sway other schools’ commits.

That is exactly what the Buckeyes are currently attempting to do with Minnesota safety commit Koi Perich. 247 composite rates Perich as a four-star recruit as the 116th ranked player, 10th ranked safety, and top ranked player in Minnesota in the 2024 class.

Perich visited Ohio State last weekend and now On3’s Matt Parker has predicted that the Buckeyes will be successful in their attempt to flip the highly rated safety recruit.

Landing Perich would be a big addition to Ohio State’s talented group of defensive backs in the 2024 class which includes cornerbacks Aaron Scott, Bryce West, and Miles Lockhart and safeties Garrett Stover, Jaylen McClain, and Leroy Roker.

Ohio State misses out on No. 1 rated 2022 cornerback

Adding the No. 1 corner in the 2022 class would’ve been nice, but it wasn’t meant to be. Ohio State still has the No. 1 overall class.

Well, you can’t win them all. We told you in November that Ohio State made the shortlist for the No. 1 cornerback in the 2022 recruiting cycle, Domani Jackson. Today, Jackson made a verbal commitment to USC.

Ultimately, the Mater Dei High School product chose to stay close to home. Southern Cal was the only school to make the final cut in Jackson’s home state of California beating out OSU, Michigan, Clemson, and Arizona State.

All is not lost though. The Buckeyes do seem to be making a push for another top rated corner in the 2022 class in Will Johnson from Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Johnson has long been considered a Michigan Wolverine lean, but Ohio State is trying to make a case why Columbus would be a great place to play.

Ohio State currently has the No. 1 rated recruiting class for 2022.

Ohio State football 2022 recruiting commitment tracker

All of Ohio State football’s 2022 commitments in one place including star-rating, and 247Sports composite rankings.

Ohio State is still polishing off its phenomenal 2021 football recruiting class, but it’s also beginning to put together one whale of a haul for the 2022 cycle. There’s not a ton of members in it just quite yet, but what Ryan Day and the Buckeyes have been able to land has done enough to once again be near the top of the team rankings.

There’s still a long way to go obviously, but as new commitments are added to the class, we’ll continue to add them to this tracker. It’s a one-stop, one place destination to stay up to date on where Ohio State football stands in the arms race to land some of the best high school prospects in the country.

Here’s where everything stands.

Ohio State recruiting: Crystal ball sees top players coming to Columbus

Two of the top ten rated players in the country could be headed to Columbus as commitments to Ohio State football’s 2021 class.

The Ohio State football program already has one of the top-ranked recruiting classes in the nation. With five-star names like Jack Sawyer, TreVeyon Henderson, and Kyle McCord, 247Sports has the Buckeyes ranked as the No. 2 class in the nation just behind Alabama for the 2021 class. However, the Buckeyes could leapfrog the Crimson Tide if crystal ball projections hold true.

The 2021 recruiting cycle is winding down with only a few big names left on the board. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day already has commitments from 20 of the nations best but has room for a few more.

Ohio State is going west to Washington once again after picking up one of the top receivers in the country last year in Gee Scott Jr. The Bucks will again head to the Evergreen State and try to land the nation’s No. 2 strong-side defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau and No. 1 receiver Emeka Egbuka. According to 247 Sports, OSU is looking good to land the services of both.

J.T. Tuimoloau is not only the second-rated defensive end in the country, but the No. 2 rated player overall. 247Sports says Tuimoloau is an extremely versatile and athletic player who can play the edge or possibly move inside as his body matures. He has been compared to former Ohio State and current Pittsburg Steeler defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, and is projected as a top ten NFL draft talent. Crystal ball projection is 92% in favor of Ohio State.

Emeka Egbuka is another amazing talent at wide receiver and should the Buckeyes get his commitment, it would make the second year in a row that Ohio State has landed the top-rated receiver in the country. Egbuka is a big, physical receiver with top-end speed who can also handle kick-off and punt return duties. 247Sports compares him to JuJu Smith-Schuster of the Pittsburg Steelers and has the Buckeyes at 89% according to their crystal ball prediction. Egbuka is the No. 8 ranked player in the nation.

With the early signing period just weeks away, we should know soon if the crystal ball projections hold up. It certainly looks like Ohio State is trending in the right direction as the 2021 class is shaping up to be one of the best in Ohio State football history.
