With signing day in the rearview mirror Ohio State football’s 2024 recruiting class is pretty much wrapped up.
The Buckeyes brought in one of the best classes in college football as they signed 20 players including four five-stars, 10 four-stars, and six three-stars in the On3 industry rankings.
Now focus can shift to Ohio State’s recruiting classes in 2025 and beyond, which is off to a good start as Tavien St. Clair, the No. 3 quarterback in the 2025 class, made his commitment to Ohio State in June.
The Buckeyes have also offered two other quarterbacks in 2025 and three in the 2026 class which we will walk through in this article using On3 who is one of the top college football recruiting resources as it tracks player rankings on all four main websites and provides predictions, insights, and NIL valuations.
