2029 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Other names to know​


Another intriguing 2029 prospect visiting Ohio State this weekend is Max Hopkins, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound tight end from Indiana. While Hopkins is currently unranked, he has offers from Indiana and Purdue, and his size certainly makes him a prospect to watch, especially considering he’s only a sophomore.

Kolton Wymer, the younger brother of 2027 offensive line commit Kellen Wymer, will also be on campus this weekend as a 2029 offensive line recruit. While Kolton doesn’t have any offers yet, the Buckeyes will surely keep an eye on his development over the next few years as his older brother, the No. 61 overall prospect in the 2027 class, begins his Ohio State career next year.

Other names to know​

Another notable offensive lineman expected to visit Ohio State this weekend is Josiah Eney, a four-star 2028 prospect from Maryland. Ranked as the No. 185 overall prospect in the junior class, Eney is making his way to Columbus just two weeks after receiving an offer from the Buckeyes.

2029 GA OL Landon Ghea (Verbal Offer)

2029 OL Landon Ghea​

Ohio State will also host one of the top prospects in the 2029 class as Georgia offensive lineman Landon Ghea makes his way to Columbus this weekend. While there aren’t yet composite rankings for the 2029 class, Rivals ranks Ghea as the No. 1 offensive tackle and No. 2 overall prospect in the sophomore class, while 247Sports ranks Ghea as the No. 1 interior offensive lineman and No. 25 overall prospect in his cycle.

Listed at 6-foot-5 and 275 pounds with great strength and athleticism for his age, Ghea could potentially play anywhere along the offensive line. Landing Ghea won’t be easy; he already holds three dozen offers, and his older brother Ryan is an Auburn tight end. But Saturday will be a great opportunity for Tyler Bowen and the Buckeyes to make a strong early impression on a player who could end up being the top offensive lineman in his class.

2028 FL RB Xander Edwards (Verbal Offer)

2028 RB Jayshawn Mitchell and Xander Edwards​

After missing out on top target David Gabriel Georges in the 2027 class, Carlos Locklyn is looking for a second running back to pair with longtime commit Elijah Newman-Hall in the 2028 class. Two of his top targets to fill that spot will be in Columbus this weekend.

Mitchell is ranked as the No. 8 RB and No. 113 overall prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the 2028 class, while Edwards is ranked just behind him as the No. 9 RB and 116th overall.

Mitchell, a native of San Antonio, Texas, is ranked as the No. 1 running back in the class by Rivals and looks to be a top-of-the-board target for Locklyn. Edwards, the son of former NFL and Notre Dame fullback and 1992 Ohio Mr. Football Marc Edwards, is a former teammate of Ohio State freshman safety Simeon Caldwell at The Bolles School in Jacksonville, where Edwards ran for a mind-boggling 2,629 yards and 44 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2025.

2028 GA WR Madoxx Davis (Verbal Offer)

2028 WR Madoxx Davis​

Even though Ohio State already has a commitment from arguably the 2028 class’ best receiver in Jett Harrison, the Buckeyes remain a top contender for nearly all of the other five-star receivers in the class, too. One of those receivers is Davis, the No. 5 wide receiver and No. 23 overall prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings.

Davis has been one of Cortez Hankton’s top targets in the 2028 class since Ohio State offered him in March, and his trip to Columbus this weekend shows clear mutual interest. A Georgia native, Davis was originally scheduled to attend the Alabama/Georgia game in Tuscaloosa this weekend, but is now making his way to Ohio State instead.

2028 GA DL Jamarcus Johnson (Verbal Offer)

2028 DE Cassell Cruickshank and DT Jamarcus Johnson​

From a recruiting perspective, no Ohio State assistant has a bigger weekend ahead than Larry Johnson, as two of the best defensive linemen in the entire 2028 class are expected at Ohio Stadium for Saturday’s game.

Johnson, the No. 5 defensive lineman and No. 29 overall prospect in the 2028 class, makes his way to Columbus less than one month after receiving his offer from the Buckeyes. A massive defensive tackle at 6-foot-5 and 330 pounds, Johnson – who lives in Lyons, Georgia – would add some beef to the future of the Buckeyes’ defensive line, which should be a priority with how they’ve missed the dominant presence of Kayden McDonald in the middle of the trenches this season.

2028 NC DL Cassell Cruickshank (Verbal Offer)

2028 DE Cassell Cruickshank and DT Jamarcus Johnson​

From a recruiting perspective, no Ohio State assistant has a bigger weekend ahead than Larry Johnson, as two of the best defensive linemen in the entire 2028 class are expected at Ohio Stadium for Saturday’s game.

Cruickshank, whose trip to Columbus was reported by 247Sports on Thursday, is ranked as the No. 2 edge rusher and No. 7 overall prospect in the class. A 6-foot-6, 230-pound defensive end from North Carolina who’s being pursued by just about every major program in college football, Cruickshank will be making his first visit to Ohio State after receiving an offer from the Buckeyes. His brother Mikhie Cruickshank, a 2028 safety with seven FBS offers, will also be visiting.
