Two of the Buckeyes’ 2025 commits also put together huge performances on Friday night.
Ohio State took care of business on the field on Saturday, easily knocking off its second-straight MAC foe in a 56-0 win over Western Michigan. In a matchup the Buckeyes were expected to win handily, it wasn’t a marquee weekend for recruiting visits, but any game day atmosphere in Columbus — especially a night game — still draws a crowd of prospects to town.
Starting in the current cycle, a small handful of Ohio State’s commits in the 2025 class were in attendance, including five-star quarterback Tavien St. Clair.
St. Clair, No. 2 QB and No. 2 overall player in the cycle per 247Sports, is seemingly on campus at every possible opportunity. It's a pretty easy trip for the crown jewel of the Buckeyes’ 2025 class, as he plays his prep ball about an hour northwest of Columbus, but it's great to see St. Clair so active with the program and helping out in the peer recruiting department as well.
Moving into 2026, two of the big names in town were four-star tight end Mack Sutter and four-star offense tackle Sam Greer. The 6-foot-6.5 Greer is an important in-state prospect for Ohio State in the junior cycle, ranked as the No. 13 OT nationally and the No. 6 player in Ohio per the 247Sports Composite. Sutter, meanwhile, made the trip to see the Buckeyes after traveling to Auburn last weekend. The Illinois native is the No. 5 TE and No. 109 prospect per the 247Sports Composite.
In the 2027 class, Ohio State hosted a pair of in-state offensive line prospects in tackles Reed Gerken and Mason Wilt. Both listed at around 6-foot-5, 290 pounds, Gerken plays his prep ball at Perrysburg, while Wilt is a St. Clairsville product. Neither guy is ranked yet as their cycle is still a ways away, but the Buckeyes and Justin Frye are clearly trying to make in-state linemen a priority early on.
The visitor list didn’t stop there either, as 2028 quarterback Neimann Lawrence made the trip up from Florida to see the Buckeyes in action. Ryan Day has offered a pair of QBs in the 2028 class, and Lawrence is one of those guys, having earned the offer after throwing at an Ohio State recruiting camp this past June.
“I like the quarterbacks that they’ve developed,” Lawrence told Eleven Warriors after receiving his offer. “And they’ve really got some good things going on there. I can see myself there in the future, but my recruiting process is just starting. I have a long way to go.”
The Bergen Catholic star made a big play through the air, as Porter torched the defensive back en route to a 56-yard touchdown against Massillon. The 6-foot-3 receiver finished the game with six catches for 85 yards and a score, following up a dominant performance in his team’s loss against IMG Academy, wherein he totaled six catches for 132 yards and a TD.
The in-state kid Jackson, meanwhile, had a huge game for Villa Angela-St. Joseph. The running back exploded for over rushing 200 yards and three touchdowns in just the first half alone, showcasing his speed in the second level on this 35-yard TD run in the second quarter. Jackson is the No. 5 RB and No. 86 overall prospect per the 247Sports Composite.

Quick Hits
- Ohio State’s 2025 commits are back in action with the high school football season underway, and each week this group of former Buckeyes is putting together some highlight-reel worthy plays. On Friday, Quincy Porter and Bo Jackson were the ones that stole the show.
The Bergen Catholic star made a big play through the air, as Porter torched the defensive back en route to a 56-yard touchdown against Massillon. The 6-foot-3 receiver finished the game with six catches for 85 yards and a score, following up a dominant performance in his team’s loss against IMG Academy, wherein he totaled six catches for 132 yards and a TD.
