Ohio State football has been together one whale of a 2021 recruiting class so far, but it’s not done yet. The Buckeyes currently sit as the easy No. 1 overall class according to the 247Sports Team Composite Rankings, but there’s still work to do.
In fact, Ohio State remains in the running for some very highly rated prospects out there still, and one of them may be about ready to commit. Five-star offensive tackle J.C. Latham out of IMG Academy in Florida is one of OSU’s remaining priorities in the class. According to the 247Sports Composite Ratings, he is rated as the No. 5 offensive tackle, and 17th overall recruit for 2021.
And … let it be known that he just sent up the flare that he’s ready to commit, taking to Twitter to announce it’s time, and that he needs an edit.
Ohio State appears to be in a great position to land the six-foot, six-inch, 305-pounder as well. Most experts, including the 247Sports Crystal Ball picks have him as a slight lean to Ryan Day and the Buckeyes.
However, it’s not a lock. According to Bucknuts, Latham’s father confirmed the Buckeyes are in his son’s top two schools. That other school appears to be LSU, but Alabama is also rumored to be in the mix.
There’s no exact timetable for Latham, but it does look like we’ll be hearing something soon. Stay tuned!
