Ohio State football offers 2027 Georgia quarterback

An extremely early offer out for the Buckeyes. #GoBucks

It’s never too early to offer a prospect and Ohio State football took that to heart on Tuesday morning.

The Buckeyes offered a scholarship to 2027 Georgia quarterback, [autotag]Max Brown[/autotag], as the 6-foot, 210-pound prospect now holds four offers at this extremely early point in his recruitment. The other current schools that have plugged the trigger are USF, Arkansas, and Auburn.

At this moment, there are no class rankings, so it’s hard to say where Brown ranks among his peers, but we do know one thing, he’s good enough to compete in Columbus for the job. It’s a long ways until his class signs, but Ohio State wanted to show its interest.

This is the fourth offer that Ohio State has sent out in the 2027 class, but don’t expect too many more in the near future as there is so much time for these players to progress before the land on a college campus.

Ohio State football offers 2026 Georgia wide receiver

The Buckeyes offer a top 2026 talent

It’s safe to say that when a wide receiver prospect earns an Ohio State football offer, they are one of the best in the country.

That seems to be the case with 2026 Georgia receiver [autotag]Ryan Mosley[/autotag], who on Monday morning got a Buckeye offer. The 6-foot, 2-inch and 175-pound pass catcher isn’t currently ranked by any of the major services, but with an offer list that includes Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and now Ohio State, you’d have to expect that Mosley will get a fairly high ranking once they are updated.

The Buckeyes do have a commit in the 2026 class, and it happens to be the top overall receiver in the cycle, Chris Henry Jr.

Clearly Ohio State is trying to find at least one, and more than likely two more receivers in the class to join Henry Jr.

Ohio State football 2025 in-state edge rusher will commit in early July

Will a BOOM! happen before the fireworks?

There will be some early fireworks on July 3rd for a team, and the hope is that Ohio State football will be celebrating then.

In-state 2025 edge rusher [autotag]Justin Hill[/autotag] will make his commitment that day, as he will choose from Oregon, USC, Alabama and the Buckeyes. The Winton Woods defender is viewed as one of the nations top recruits, rankins as the No. 126th player and 13th edge rusher according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Hill will make official visits to each of his final four schools ahead of his commitment date, and there is no doubt that the red carpet will be rolled out for him when he makes a return to Columbus.

With no crystal ball picks logged, it’s hard to get a feel for where Hill is leaning, but you have to believe that his home state school has a slight advantage heading into his officials.

Ohio State football hosted a surprise 5-star offensive tackle over this weekend

This is getting interesting with the 5-star and the Buckeyes

Ohio State football has a massive need for offensive lineman in the 2025 recruiting cycle and one of its top targets was on campus this weekend.

[autotag]David Sanders Jr.[/autotag], the 2025 North Carolina offensive tackle made the trip to Columbus this past weekend, a visit that many did not see coming. The nations No. 2 overall prospect and top offensive tackle according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, is a priority Buckeye recruit, so this unofficial visit is extremely promising.

Ohio State has not been viewed as the leader for Sanders Jr., but after this weekend that might be changing. He has scheduled an official visit as well, with that trip coming the weekend of June 21st.

This is a big development as right now the Buckeyes have just one tackle committed in the class, Carter Lowe. Pairing those two would be a dream scenario for Ohio State.

Ohio State football misses the cut for top 2025 wide receiver target

The Buckeyes aren’t considered a top contender for the elite receiver

It’s fairly unusual for Ohio State football to miss on one of its top wide receiver targets, but that looks to be the case with an elite talent in the 2025 class.

Florida’s [autotag]Jaime Ffrench[/autotag], who was at one-time an Alabama commit, reopened the process when Nick Saban announced his retirement. It very much looked like the Buckeyes would be making him a priority, which they have, but it hasn’t turned out how many envisioned.

Ffrench released his top three schools and Ohio State did not make the cut for  nations No. 18 overall prospect and 3rd ranked wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

The Buckeyes won’t give up on Ffrench even though they aren’t in his top three, but it is looking like he is trending away from playing in Columbus.

Ohio State football offers Auburn commit while on weekend on-campus visit

The Buckeyes are working on a SEC flip

It was a big recruiting weekend for the Ohio State football team, as they welcomed in multiple top prospects from across the country.

One of those that took the weekend trip to Columbus was Alabama defensive lineman [autotag]Malik Autry[/autotag]. The 6-foot, 6-inch and 320-pound interior rusher committed to Auburn in February, but has yet to shut down his recruitment.

His interest in the Buckeyes grew this weekend, not just because of the visit, mainly due to Ohio State coaching staff offering Autry. He’s the nations No. 184 overall prospect and 22nd defensive lineman according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. A return visit will happen as well, as an official has been scheduled at the end of June.

Ohio State is working hard to flip Autry, and hopefully the summer visit can seal the deal.

Ohio State football makes top three for elite in-state 2025 running back Bo Jackson

Hopefully Bo knows where home is, Columbus

The state of Ohio annually has multiple elite prospects and Ohio State football typically takes advantage of its proximity to those players.

It is happening once again with in-state running back [autotag]Bo Jackson[/autotag], who trimmed his list to three schools on Thursday. Alabama, Georgia and the Buckeyes are the finalists for the nations No. 72 overall prospect and 5th player at his position according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

The Buckeyes will get one of Jackson’s official visits, as he will take a visit to Columbus between trips to Georgia and Alabama. It does look like Ohio State had an edge in his recruitment, as the only 247Sports Crystal Ball pick is for the Buckeyes.

This could be the first big recruiting victory for new Ohio State running back’s coach Carlos Locklyn, as Jackson is a big-time prospect.

Ohio State football 2025 offensive tackle target Avery Gach to commit on Friday

The Buckeyes could be adding to their 2025 class tomorrow. #GoBucks

Ohio State football has a big need at offensive line, and it may have the issue addressed on Friday.

[autotag]Avery Gach[/autotag], a 2025 Michigan offensive tackle will make his commitment on Friday, as he will choose from four schools: Michigan State, Wisconsin, Michigan or the Buckeyes. At 6-foot, 5-inches and 290-pounds, the tackle is a very highly rated prospect, as he’s the No. 236 overall player and 15th interior offensive lineman according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

At the current moment, it doesn’t look like Ohio State will be the pick, as every single one of the eight 247Sports Crystal Ball picks are in favor of the Wolverines.

Currently, Ohio State has one offensive lineman in its 2025 class, tackle Carter Lowe.

Ohio State football offers 2026 elite North Carolina quarterback

The Buckeyes offered the elite 2026 NC quarterback

The high-level recruiting of quarterbacks for Ohio State football doesn’t look like it is going to stop anytime soon.

The list of highly regarded prospects to be Buckeyes is long, especially over the past few years. Two were “signed” in the 2024 class, Air Noland and Julian Sayin (transfer from Alabama) and in the 2025 class its the potential No. 1 overall player Tavien St. Clair.

Since the current class already has its quarterback, it allows the Ohio State coaching staff to look towards the 2026 cycle. With that said, an offer went out to North Carolina’s Faizon Brandon on Tuesday evening, the latest power program to offer the elite talent.

Ohio State joined Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Michigan and others in offering the nations No. 4 quarterback and 53rd overall player according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Brandon recently took part in the Elite 11 Atlanta regional and performed well considering many of the campers were a grade ahead of him. It was more than enough to warrant an Ohio State offer and it looks like he will highly consider the Buckeyes.

Former Ohio State football target has entered the transfer portal

Could another former member of the Crimson Tide be headed to Columbus?

During the recruitment of [autotag]Peyton Woodyard[/autotag], Ohio State football was always seen as a potential landing spot for him.

Ultimately the California safety signed with Alabama, but like many others before him, has decided to move on from the Crimson Tide following the retirement of Nick Saban.

The Buckeyes have already benefited from the change, as they added safety Caleb Downs, quarterback Julian Sayin and center Seth McLaughlin. Could another be on the way?

It’s hard to say at this moment, as Woodyard has entered the portal with a do not contact tag, meaning that he most likely already knows where he is headed next.

Could it be Columbus? It could be, but he also was once a Georgia commitment and also highly considered staying home and playing for USC. It is now a wait-and-see with Woodyard and the Buckeyes.
