The Buckeyes’ 2021 recruiting class is off to a terrific start. Ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten and No. 3 in the nation, they now have four commits, all ranked in the top 110, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Christman, quarterback Kyle McCord and wide receiver Jayden Ballard are all four-star prospects while defensive end Jack Sawyer, the No. 2 player in the class, is one of just four five-star recruits to have already committed.
