Ohio State is the early leader in the clubhouse for the No. 1 recruiting class in the 2021 cycle. In fact, were things to be wrapped up today, believe it or not, the Buckeyes would have a better class than the No. 5 ranked one from the 2020 class.
But it’s not over. In fact, Ohio State has only gotten verbal commitments from seventeen members, so there’s still room to add to this class. That’s good news because there’s a ton of big names still out there that have the Buckeyes in serious consideration.
While we step through all the commitments and news, we’ve organized all that’s in the fold so far for you in one easy place. We’ve split it out by position group, star-rating, demographics, and recruiting video if it’s available. Also, keep in mind that none of these are set in stone until they actually sign on the dotted line in December or February.
So off we go. We’ll continue to update this tracker as new commitments come on board.
