Top five class of 2025 football recruits from Ohio

Top five class of 2025 football recruits from Ohio #GoBucks

The Ohio State football recruiting class of 2024 was a success and included eight elite players from the state of Ohio including future star cornerback, Aaron Scott from Holland, Ohio. Homegrown talent is a vital part of the lifeblood of the Ohio State football program and I wanted to take time to dive into the next class of Buckeye State stars.

When looking at the class of 2025, the Buckeyes look to be in great shape and have verbal commitments from two of the top five Ohio prospects and are the odds-on favorite for a third. In the day and age of name, image and likeness, following recruiting has become a bit more mundane with players flipping wildly due to the promise of cash.

But with the Buckeyes gaining momentum in that department they should be able to make that situation work for and not against them. Let’s examine the top five prospects for the class of 2025 in the state of Ohio.

Georgia football offers 4-star ATH Trey McNutt

Four-star athlete Trey McNutt has received a scholarship offer from the Georgia Bulldogs.

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to class of 2025 athlete Trey McNutt.

McNutt plays high school football for Shaker Heights High School in Cleveland, Ohio. McNutt is ranked as a four-star recruit.

The 6-foot, 180-pound athlete is considered the No. 62 recruit in the class of 2025 and the No. 7 cornerback, per 247Sports. McNutt is the No. 3 recruit in Ohio in his recruiting cycle.

The four-star recruit holds recent scholarship offers from Northwestern, Michigan State, Louisville, and USC. McNutt also plays receiver, but he is primarily considered a cornerback recruit.

Trey McNutt has excellent speed. He runs track for his high school and is a good student.

As a sophomore, McNutt recorded 40 tackles, eight pass deflections, and one interceptions. The versatile athlete finished the season with 577 scrimmage yards and eight total touchdowns. He primarily lined up at outside cornerback and slot wide receiver in 2022.

The Shaker Heights standout football player announced his scholarship offer from the University of Georgia via social media:

Ohio State legacy visits, then is offered a scholarship

His 2002 national championship father must be proud #GoBucks

Ohio 2025 athlete [autotag]Trey McNutt[/autotag] is pretty familiar with the Ohio State program; his father Richard helped the Buckeyes win a national title during the 2002 season.

It’s not always the case that sons inherit their father’s abilities, but for Trey, it is. The 6-foot, 180-pound athlete is going to be a big time recruit and the Buckeyes are getting on him early.

Following a visit to his father’s alma mater, the younger McNutt was offered a scholarship. Although Trey is not yet listed on the 247Sports composite, he soon will be with the offers that he has accumulated after just finishing his sophomore season.

Trey is viewed as an athlete at the moment but could end up playing defense like his father, especially considering which Buckeye coaches he tagged following the offer.

The younger McNutt could join [autotag]Will Smith Jr.[/autotag] as another son of a former 2002 national champion on the current Ohio State team.
