Ohio State football misses out on four-star tackle

Ohio State misses out on four-star tackle #GoBucks

Most of the news surroundings Ohio State football recruiting has been positive, but we do have some relatively bad news to report. It appears the Buckeyes have missed out on a four-star offensive tackle recruit in the class of 2025. Ziyare Addison, who is a Florida native and has committed to a rival Big Ten school, conference newcomer, Oregon.

Ohio State made the final five in the Addison sweepstakes along with Georgia, Michigan and UCLA, but in the end he decided to become a Duck. Many saw this as a the most likely possibility and the timing makes sense considering he visited Eugene over the weekend. However, it is a bit of a blow to some Buckeye fans.

That being said, recruits flipping have never been more abundant than right now, and with the emergence of name, image and likeness, many times these commitment flips don’t occur until signing day, so there is no shame in keeping your fingers crossed that Addison still become a Buckeye.

The Oregon Ducks started the week of on a high note, landing a commitment from 4-star offensive tackle Ziyare Addison, who just took an official visit to Eugene over the weekend.

Addison is rated by 247Sports as the No. 140 overall player in the 2025 class, and the No. 14 OT in the nation.

Standing at 6-foot-5, 290 pounds, Addison is a big body that is coming to Oregon all the way from Florida. He is a great pickup for offensive line coach A’lique Terry, who obviously made a strong impression over the weekend during the visit.

With the addition of Addison, the Ducks now have the No. 22 class in the nation for the 2025 cycle.

With 13 commits already, Ohio State football has one of the nation’s top recruiting classes for the 2025 cycle.

I stand out to them for being an athlete, and always tell me how they need more athletic people on their team.”
