Ohio State makes the cut for top in-state player in 2024

2024 CB Aaron Scott | Mick Walker, 247Sports
The Buckeyes remain the frontrunner for the talented Ohio cornerback.
It was another big recruiting weekend for Ohio State, headlined by the addition of 2024 quarterback Air Noland. The Buckeyes have virtually cleaned up across the board at all the skill positions in this cycle, with Noland joining a pair of five-star receivers in Jeremiah Smith and Mylan Graham in addition to high four-star running back James Peoples.
They still need to add along the offensive line and will almost certainly bring in another RB and receiver, but it is time to flip the attention to the defense. This past weekend provided good news on that front as well, as Ohio State made the cut for one of their top targets at the cornerback position while seeing positive attention from a handful of others in the wake of Noland’s big commitment.
Ohio State has made it now secret who their top targets are to try and help replenish the cornerbacks room, and they don’t have to travel very far to find them. We are of course referring to Ohio’s own Aaron Scott and Bryce West. It is very fortunate for the Buckeyes and position coach Tim Walton that two of the top corners in the country reside in the program’s own backyard, and by all accounts things continue to trend well for OSU to land both.
This weekend, Scott — the higher rated of the pair by 247Sports — released his top schools list, trimming his offer sheet down from over 30 to an even dozen. Ohio State, as expected, made the cut, joining a list of other top tier programs including the likes of Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, USC and others.
Scott is the No. 1 player in Ohio and the No. 36 overall player in the class, ranking as the No. 4 player at his position by 247Sports’ rankings. The Springfield native stands at 6-foot, 170 pounds, and is a multi-sport athlete, competing in both track and field and basketball in addition to his efforts on the gridiron. The Buckeyes currently own both of the Crystal Ball predictions for Scott, with the two coming near the end of 2022, and momentum continues to look to favor the scarlet and gray.
When it comes to West, he was one of the many other prospects this weekend who reacted to the commitment of Noland on social media. The No. 1 player in Ohio and No. 49 player overall on the 247Sports Composite, the Glenville product currently holds three Crystal Balls in favor of Ohio State, including one from just this past weekend from Kentucky insider Josh Edwards.
West wasn’t the only prospect with a reaction to the latest Ohio State commitment, as a handful of others made it known on social media that they see what the Buckeyes are building in this 2024 class that now ranks No. 4 in the country.
As if Brian Hartline needs anymore juice on the recruiting trail, five-star WR Joshisa Trader was one of the others to throw the eyeball emojis towards the decision of what would be his potential future quarterback if he came to Columbus. The No. 1 athlete and No. 18 overall player on the 247Sports Composite is currently Crystal Ball’d to Miami, but you can never count out Hartline for any wide receiver in the country.
In addition to Trader, one of the other big names to react to the Noland news was five-star edge rusher Colin Simmons. The Texas native currently ranks as the No. 1 EDGE and the No. 3 player overall in the 2024 class, and holds a whopping 45-plus offers thus far. While Simmons is projected to land at LSU right now, Ohio State has had more than its fair share of success landing players out of the Lone Star State. It also doesn’t hurt that Simmons attends the same high school as current Buckeye freshman Omari Abor.

(@ColinSimmons__) Quick Hits
- While we’re on the topic of defensive ends, Ohio State is set to host a big name at the spot when Booker Pickett Jr. comes to town for the annual spring game. The 6-foot-3, 300 pound edge rusher is the No. 6 player at his position and the No. 89 overall prospect in the class, Larry Johnson (and area recruiter Tony Alford) would love to snag the four-star edge rusher out of Tampa.

Softball: Buckeyes split series with Rutgers through Saturday

@OhioStateSB
The rubber match is today, Easter Sunday. Hopefully the Easter bunny finds the scarlet and gray basket.
After getting swept at Indiana last weekend, the Buckeyes were looking forward to home-field advantage and getting back on track. Ohio State (now 22-13) fell in its first game to Rutgers (now 30-13) Friday before a game full of fireworks Saturday righted the ship for the Bucks.
Game 1
The game started just like it typically has the past few weeks— with a Melina Wilkison home run. This was her fifth home run in the past six games. Also important to note, this was Wilkison’s 100th career hit— in just her 83rd game, as she is only a sophomore.
Then, the next inning, second baseman Kaitlyn Farley showed off her power with a grand slam, putting the Buckeyes up 5-0 early on.
On the defensive side, pitcher Allison Smith started to struggle in the third. She loaded the bases, then walked in a run, then hit a batter to score another run. The fourth inning wasn’t any better, as she gave up a three-run home run to the Scarlet Knights, as they tied the game at five.
The fatal blow came in the sixth inning as Smith gave up a solo homer to give Rutgers the lead which it would not relinquish. However, there was some controversy in the bottom of the seventh. Kami Kortokrax reached on a walk, then made it home after Sam Hackenbracht hit a double to center. Kortokrax was initially called safe, which would’ve tied the game, but after video review, the call was reversed and she was called out.
Heartbreaking way to lose for the Buckeyes.
Game 2
After five-straight losses, Ohio State desperately needed to get back in the win column, and that is exactly what it did Saturday after a couple of key home runs blasted it to victory.
Farley picked up where she left off Friday and led off the bottom of the first with a home run to get the Buckeyes on the board first. Emily Ruck was on the bump for Ohio State and absolutely cruised in this one. Her lone mistake came in the third inning when she gave up a two-run home run to give Rutgers the lead, but her offense would bail her out.
Wilkison doubled in the fifth inning, then advanced to third on a throwing error, now perfectly set up in scoring position for Hackenbracht. The clutch designated player lined out to center field which allowed Wilkison to score the tying run. The next inning, Jaycee Ruberti called game as her solo home run would end up being the winning run for the Buckeyes.
Ruck had a 1-2-3 seventh and threw a complete game, giving up two runs on six hits, four walks and four strikeouts.
