Momentum is starting to pick up with the 2022 recruiting class at Ohio State, even as Alabama closes the gap on the Buckeyes’ outstanding 2021 class. Of course, there’s still room and hope to add more there for OSU, but we’ll have to see how the coronavirus pandemic affects all of that.
But back to 2022.
Four-star tight end Benji Gosnell out of Pilot Mountain, North Carolina has just released his final three schools and Ohio State is in the mix along with Florida and North Carolina.
According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Gosnell is rated as the No. 11 tight end in the country, and a top 300 prospect in the entire class. There doesn’t appear to be a timeline for any sort of announcement at this point, and there’s still plenty of time for things to change. However, most experts and analysts believe Ohio State has a good chance at landing him. There’s always the home-state school to deal with here, and there’s no doubt the Tar Heels won’t let him go very easy, but if things were to end today, the prevailing thought is that he would be a Buckeye.

We’ll keep an eye on any further developments in regards to timelines and desires with Gosnell, but for now, just put this one on the back-burner to simmer for a bit.
