Top 25 prospect for 2022 class includes Ohio State in trimmed list

One of the top players in the 2022 recruiting cycle, defensive end Enai White, included Ohio State in his top thirteen schools Monday.

The Ohio State football program continues to gain momentum with the 2022 recruiting class, all while trying to put the finishing touches on the 2021 class.

In fact, at the current moment, the Buckeyes have the overall No. 1 rated class for the 2021 cycle. There’s of course a very, very long runway still to go before that class takes flight as the top one, but things are going well.

And on that note, there’s another highly touted recruit that is still considering Ohio State. At 6-foot, 5-inch, and 230-pounds, defensive end Enai White is ranked as the No. 2 weakside defensive end and No. 25 overall prospect according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.

He released his top thirteen Tuesday through his Twitter account, and the Buckeyes are in the mix. Included with Ohio State is Clemson, Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama, Texas, USC, Ole Miss, Florida, Penn State, Oregon, and Miami.

Now, before anyone gets too excited, being in the top thirteen is little more than a simple nod, but you can’t get to the top spot without being included in the lists that get smaller along the way.

It’s simply too early to tell where White will go, or where he’s leaning at the moment, but it bears watching as the cycle continues.
