Top 2023 running back puts Ohio State in top ten

Could Ohio State snag the No. 1 running back in the country two out of the last three years?

The top-rated running back in the 2023 class has decided to announce his list of potential schools to a top ten and Ohio State has made the cut. Richard Young has offers from just about every major program in the country but has decided to trim that list going into his junior year of high school.

Young is a speedster with good size and room to add more. As a sophomore at Lehigh Senior in Florida, he ran an 11.09 in the hundred meters.

Young’s final ten are a who’s who of college football royalty, so it seems Tony Alford will have his work cut out. Joining OSU on his list are Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Oklahoma, Oregon, and USC.

Signing Young would be the second time in three years that Ohio State would land the No. 1 rated running back in the country joining TreVeyon Henderson from the 2021 class. However, there is a long way to go on this one.
