Nation’s No. 1 player nearing a decision, Ohio State in good position for another top safety target

The Buckeyes are in the mix for multiple top players in the 2026 class ahead of a major recruiting weekend.
The No. 1 player in the country regardless of position per the 24Sports Composite is Nixa, Missouri native, Jackson Cantwell. A target that needs no formal introduction, every program in the country would line up for his commitment with all that he brings to the table. Whether it be size, length, strength, or just his prep film, Cantwell is ranked where he’s at for a reason, and Ohio State has been in the mix for some time now.
Releasing a list of six final schools in February, Cantwell has been down to Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Missouri, Oregon, and Ohio State for a while, taking visits to several this spring alone. It looks as if Jackson is really nearing a final decision as he took to his social media on Thursday to share his latest thoughts on where he may end up.
The phrase, “I have all the information I need” was mentioned and that’s pretty telling. As of right now, it appears the Buckeyes likely are on the outside looking in. Taking a spring visit in the past few weeks, Ohio State is still the lone program in his top schools to not have an official visit lined up, and typically that would tell you all you need to know.
The Buckeyes aren’t totally out of it by any means, but the easy guess here is believing they have plenty of ground to make up on the likes of Missouri, Michigan, and Georgia. Ohio State and Tyler Bowen will continue to punch here, but with other options they’re likely more favored for, it’s not all bad news for the Buckeyes.
For now, it does look like they’ll learn their fate one way or another sooner than later.
With two commits locked in at the position, safeties coach Matt Guerrieri is proving his worth on the recruiting trail in a major way thus far in the 2026 class. Landing both Blaine Bradford and Simeon Caldwell, Ohio State has a duo that every coaching staff in the country would love to have. Both commits have also made it clear their recruitments are shut down and it’s all Buckeyes from here on out.
That said, the Buckeyes aren’t done with their defensive secondary recruiting, and if there’s one player they’d still welcome with open arms at the safety position, it’s Mississippi native Bralan Womack.
The No. 24 player nationally and second best safety per the 247Sports Composite, Womack is fresh off an Ohio State unofficial visit, and came away impressed even with the two commits in the fold. If anything, the staff made sure to give Womack their plans to play each in different ways, and it looks as if the visit went as well as it could have considering he’s been quoted as he feels great about Ohio State.
Normally it’s not a strong possibility to land this many elite guys at one position group in the same class, but Ohio State coming off a national championship season is recruiting on another level right now, and Womack to the Buckeyes shouldn’t be dismissed by any means.

Quick Hits
- Making a short trek south to Columbus today, Ohio State will play host to Ohio native Jermaine Polk. An unranked defensive lineman, Polk is a 6-foot-4, 265 pound athlete with nearly ten offers to his name and is hoping this next visit will continue to keep the attention on his recruitment. Schools such as Boston College and Iowa State round out his biggest offers, but several other MAC schools are also in the mix.

Ohio State hosts Maryland this afternoon in a men’s lacrosse showdown

Ohio State vs Virginia 02/22/25 | Ohio State Athletics
The Buckeyes will look to extend their winning streak to 12 games when they take on the Terrapins at the Ohio State Lacrosse Stadium.
Ohio State football isn’t the only Buckeye team hitting the field in Columbus on Saturday. The second-ranked men’s lacrosse team has a huge game, as they’ll be hosting the sixth-ranked Maryland Terrapins in the final regular season home game of the season for the Buckeyes. Ohio State will be looking for its first win over the Terrapins since 2018, and its first win in Columbus over Maryland since an 11-10 triumph in overtime back in 2017.
The Buckeyes enter today’s game against Maryland with an 11-1 record, their only loss coming at the hands of Utah to kick off the season. Since then, Ohio State has won 11 straight games, the latest being a 14-10 victory over Johns Hopkins. The Buckeyes jumped out to a 3-0 lead early in the first quarter, pushing their advantage over Maryland to 8-3 at halftime. The Terrapins would get as close as 10-8, but Nick Myers’ team would regain its focus to earn its first win over Johns Hopkins since 2021, becoming the first Big Ten team this season to earn three conference wins.
Leading the charge for Ohio State against Johns Hopkins was Alex Marinier, who scored six goals on his way to earning his fourth Big Ten Player of the Week honor. The only game this season where Marinier netted more goals was when he scored seven goals in a win over Air Force back in February. Marinier now has 40 goals this season, making him the 15th player in Ohio State history to record at least 40 goals in a season.
Along with Marinier, Ohio State has six other players who have scored at least 10 goals this season. Garrett Haas had three goals in the win over Johns Hopkins, pushing his season total to 20 goals. Ryan Donnery has 17 goals, Ed Shean has scored 14 times, and Shane O’Leary has 13 goals to round out this season’s top five when it comes to goal scoring on the team. Jack McKenna currently has the team lead with 14 assists.
Patrolling the goal for the Buckeyes is Caleb Fyock, who is coming off a 15-save performance against Johns Hopkins to earn his 11th victory of the season. Fyock is a perfect 11-0 with a 7.13 goals against average and a .626 save percentage. Ohio State has one of the toughest defenses to crack in the country, allowing just 102 goals through their first 12 games of the season. By comparison, the Buckeye offense has scored 160 goals.
Maryland enters today’s game with an 8-2 record this year, but the Terrapins have struggled recently, losing two of their last three games. The latest loss was an 8-6 setback at Rutgers. Even with their recent slump, Maryland is still one of the most dangerous teams in the country. The Terrapins were runners-up last year, falling to Notre Dame 15-5 in the title game. The last national championship for Maryland came in 2022. Since joining the Big Ten in 2015, head coach John Tillman has led the program to seven Final Four appearances.
Powering the Maryland offense is Eric Spanos, who has 19 goals and 11 assists this season> Braden Erska and Daniel Kelly each have 18 goals, while Matthew Keegan has netted 14 goals, and Bryce Ford has been credited with 13 goals for a Terrapin offense that has scored 110 goals this season. The defense has allowed just 76 goals, with Logan McNaney patrolling the goals, posting an 8-2 record with a 7.47 goals against average, and a .615 save percentage.
Even though this game is the final regular-season home game for Ohio State this year, the seniors will likely get another chance to soak in their final home game when they play in the Big Ten Tournament, which will be played at campus sites. Since they have already excelled in conference play this year, the Buckeyes have pretty much assured themselves of at least one more game in Columbus.
Despite attention in Columbus being given to football’s spring game, this lacrosse contest is massive. Ohio State needs a win over a Maryland team that is often in the Final Four to show Nick Myers’ team they can take down some of the top talent in the country. Even though Ohio State has earned its highest ranking in school history, they don’t want to waste a season like this by getting bounced from the NCAA Tournament early. A win over the Terrapins could truly show the Buckeyes that they belong in the conversation with some of the perennial lacrosse powers.
