Ohio State football trending to add former Northwestern offensive line commit

It’s flipping season for the Buckeyes

Ohio State football is looking to add at least one more tackle to it’s 2024 recruiting class to join Ian Moore, Devontae Armstrong, and Deontae Armstrong.

At the top of the list is the top tackle Jordan Seaton, but that continues to look like a pipe dream as he has yet to make an official visit to Columbus. Another option is Michigan’s [autotag]Gabe VanSickle[/autotag], who decommitted from Northwestern on Tuesday.

It didn’t take long for some smoke of a flip happening, especially considering shortly after VanSickle was offered by the Buckeyes, he took an official visit. Shortly after he returned to the open recruiting market, three 247Sports experts put in crystal balls for him to eventually commit to Ohio State.

The three experts: Bill Kurelic, Steve Wiltfong and Allen Trieu, all made their picks within the same hour, seemingly with the same inside information. If true, the No. 613 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings will eventually be a Buckeye.

Ohio State comes up short in its pursuit of transfer offensive tackle

The hits keep coming for the Buckeyes today #GoBucks

The Buckeyes had one last chance to salvage the day: Rhode Island offensive lineman transfer [autotag]Ajani Cornelius[/autotag]. The tackle had a final four of [autotag]Tennessee[/autotag], [autotag]Nebraska[/autotag], [autotag]Oregon[/autotag] and [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag].

While we had to wait until later in the day for Cornelius’ moment, it provided more disappointment. The tackle selected Oregon. The Buckeyes were once again left staring at their hat on the table, as just one player ([autotag]Joshua Mickens[/autotag]) who was considering Ohio State actually selected the Buckeyes on Wednesday.

It sends [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] back to the drawing board. I believe the staff had an idea Cornelius wasn’t going to select the Buckeyes, which is why we saw an offer go out to Washington State tackle [autotag]Jarrett Kingston[/autotag] on Wednesday.

The assumption for the Buckeyes is they will continue to go hard after more portal offensive tackles. However, the younger offensive lineman on the team will surely need to step up if their pursuit of a portal tackle comes up empty.
