The Buckeyes continue to recruit California hard with another two offers worth mentioning.
Ohio State was active on the recruiting trail Wednesday, offering a handful of new names from all over. Among them, it was in the late hours of the evening when the latest offer recipients — a set of twins — took to their social media accounts to update their recruitment.
Starting with a California native edge rusher, St. John Bosco product Ethan Coach now has the Buckeyes on the list. The No. 432 player nationally and 33rd best at his position per the 247Sports Composite for the 2027 class, Coach holds double-digit offers, and Ohio State is arguably his most impressive to date.
California continues to be a recruiting region Ohio State is all over, and Coach will hear from the staff often as his prep powerhouse is constantly churning out top national recruits.
Moving on to brother Justin Coach, he too was on the receiving end of an Ohio State offer which makes sense considering the caliber of players both are. A 6-foot-2, 205 pound linebacker, Justin is the No. 422 player nationally and 31st best at his position per the 247Sports Composite.
Like Ethan, Justin’s offer list has some impressive contenders, but the Buckeyes now entering the mix should cause a domino effect for more top suitors to come calling.
For now, the Buckeyes offering these two twin brothers means they’ll do what it takes to see them visit, but as 2027 prospects, there’s time for the relationship to get started and the right way.
The Buckeyes are seeing their name in the mix for high-profile players almost daily, and Thursday was no different.
Releasing a list of a final five schools on Thursday, Texas native Legend Bey kept Ohio State under his consideration with Duke, Texas, Texas A&M, and West Virginia also in the running. The No. 430 player nationally and 29th best athlete in the 2026 class per the 247Sports Composite, Bey is also listed as a quarterback and the staff is still looking for their guy at the position.
New names are starting to emerge for Ohio State, but until they zero in on one major candidate it’s anyone’s guess as to who they’ll end up with. Multiple predictions in favor of Texas A&M for Bey, the Buckeyes may be on the outside looking in right now, but recruiting can change in an instant if this staff goes all in.
Making another stop on Thursday, Walton had Oho State in the mind of four-star cornerback, Justice Fitzpatrick (Fort Lauderdale, Florida/St. Thomas Aquinas) when he took time to visit in-person.
The No. 48 player nationally and fourth best at his position per the 247Sports Composite, Fitzpatrick has all of the tools including the lineage to be a real star at the next level. Making his last trek to Columbus this past March, the Buckeyes would love nothing more than to get him back to campus in the coming weeks and if so, certainly Ohio State has a shot here.

Quick Hits
- Fully set on adding additional cornerbacks to this 2026 recruiting class, position coach Tim Walton has been putting in the miles as of late visiting multiple of the top names on his big board.
Making another stop on Thursday, Walton had Oho State in the mind of four-star cornerback, Justice Fitzpatrick (Fort Lauderdale, Florida/St. Thomas Aquinas) when he took time to visit in-person.
The No. 48 player nationally and fourth best at his position per the 247Sports Composite, Fitzpatrick has all of the tools including the lineage to be a real star at the next level.

Ohio State dishes out handful of new offers on Wednesday, emerging for 2026 QB target

The Buckeyes stay busy on the recruiting trail offering a handful of new names in the current and future cycles.
When it comes to the 2027 class at wide receiver, Ohio State couldn’t be off to a better start.
Brian Hartline has already snatched up the top-ranked player at the position thanks to Huber Heights Wayne product Jamier Brown as the trend of landing the top receivers continues. The No. 6 player nationally per the 247Sports Composite has been committed since November 2024, and while he’d be enough for most classes to be excited about, on Wednesday Hartline was out looking for more.
Making a stop in Indiana, one of the latest offers to be extended was to Lawrence North’s Monshun Sales. A 6-foot-5, 195 pound receiver, Sales is ranked just one spot below Brown as the No. 14 player nationally and second best receiver per the 247Sports Composite.
With 30-plus schools already in the fold, Sales holds offers from the likes of Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, and several others. Ohio State now officially entering this race, you have to imagine Hartline’s track record immediately gives the Buckeyes an edge, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s just one state away.
As it’s been seen time and time again, when Hartline zeros in on a player, he tends to get what he wants. It won’t be a shock to see him go all in for Sales, who poses a ton of ability. His frame alone is a dream for any coach looking to stretch the field. Getting him to campus in the very near future will be the next mission, but plan on hearing this name often moving forward.
Keeping with the receiver position, Hartline continued a busy Wednesday when he sent out an additional offer to California native, Quentin Hale. Taking to his social media to share the latest, Ohio State joins a list of nearly 20 schools to be in the mix including Arizona State, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, USC, Washington, and a host of others.
Another longer prospect, Hale checks in at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds and grades out as the No. 70 player nationally and 13th best receiver per the 247Sports Composite.
Typically adding at least three receivers in each class, seeing these new offers go out shows Hartline’s desire to have things rolling sooner rather than later to join the aforementioned Brown. With these major recruiting weeks coming up in June, the Buckeyes are going to be bringing in elite players seemingly each day, so seeing these newly offered players making the trek to campus should be in the works.
Moving to the defensive side of the ball, one of the Ohio State staffers that has been as impressive as it gets is linebackers coach, James Laurinaitis. Proving his worth both on and off the field, top prospects in the 2026 class are taking notice of his development, but he’s also taking time to work on the 2027 class. Wednesday gave way to one of his most recent offers when California native Isaiah Phelps received the good news.
A 6-foot-1, 200 pound athlete, Phelps is currently the No. 254 player nationally and 16th best linebacker per the 247Sports Composite for his cycle. Another impressive offer list of 20-plus schools, Phelps has Auburn, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas, and USC among others interested.
Simply put, it’s no surprise to see him as highly-touted for his position when it comes to the rankings, and a big reason as to why the Buckeyes are showing their own interest. Recruiting California maybe harder than ever, having the west coast in the Big Ten landscape certainly doesn’t hurt Ohio State’s chances here.

- Still searching for their class of 2026 quarterback commit, the Buckeyes have had no shortage of offers sent out, but are now seeing a potential for prospect Luke Fahey to be a real contender to take that spot. The No. 355 player nationally and 23rd best signal caller per the 247Sports Composite, Fahey has nearly 30 offers to his name. While that doesn’t yet include the Buckeyes, that soon could change.
