2027 five-star quarterback Brady Edmunds | via @bradyedmunds9 on X
Ohio State found its quarterback of the future on Monday, and the Buckeyes offered another one in the 2028 class.
Ohio State is now 10-2 following last weekend’s nightmare and will not be playing football for a couple weeks. For those in Buckeye Nation looking for a distraction this week, you are in luck. National Signing Day for the 2025 recruiting class is Wednesday, and with this, Ohio State will be making many recruiting headlines.
While some may be bad news, the majority will be positive, and this began on Monday as the Buckeyes kicked off the week finding it quarterback of the future.
2027 five-star QB Brady Edmunds (Huntington Beach, CA / Huntington Beach) committed to Ohio State on Monday following a weekend visit to Columbus, and made it official that he has “always been a buckeye.”
Edmunds chose Ohio State over a final four that also featured Michigan, Penn State and Texas, but Ohio State always felt like the leader. The Buckeyes offered Edmunds in June of this year, and by late summer predictions were already being cast in Ohio State’s favor.
Edmunds made visits with his other three finalists, as well as with the local schools USC and UCLA, but he also made multiple visits with Ohio State. His first visit gameday visit with the Buckeyes was Oct. 5 for the Iowa game. The visit went as well as possible and some thought he may have been on commitment watch then.
The California signal caller then made a return visit to Ohio State this past weekend for the Michigan game, and despite the results on the field felt like it was time to commit to the Buckeyes.
Ohio State has a commitment from 2025 five-star QB Tavien St. Clair (Bellefontaine, OH / Bellefontaine) and he is expected to make that pledge official soon. The Buckeyes do not yet hold a commitment in its 2026 class, but with Edmunds now committed to the Buckeyes in 2027, Ohio State may opt to not make the position one of great importance in the 2026 class. Especially considering the current roster featuring two young former five-star recruits in Air Noland and Julian Sayin.
That being said, Ohio State is not done at recruiting the position. The Buckeyes are looking even further into the future and on Monday the team offered 2028 quarterback Christopher Vargas (Danvers, MA / St. John’s Prep).
Vargas does not yet have a recruiting ranking from 247Sports, but he does hold offers from Boston College, UConn, UMass, Penn State and Syracuse.
Edmunds is the No. 2 QB in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 10 overall prospect. He is also the No. 3 recruit from the talent-rich state of California.
For a better look at what Edmunds will be bringing to Ohio State, check out the below highlights from Hudl.
Mathis de-committed from the Buckeyes in November, but said that the Buckeyes will remain a top school for him. It remains to be seen how much Ohio State and Mathis will remain in contact with one another, and the announcement of him delaying his recruitment should come as no surprise.

Stock Market Report: For the first time ever, there is no stock to take

After the worst loss the Buckeyes have suffered in a long time, the whole program has to look in the mirror.
Normally, after every Ohio State game no matter the results, we do a Stock Market Report, focusing on players and other things that have raised or lowered its stock depending on how they played and how the game played out. But it doesn’t feel right to do that this week.
I was born on June 25, 1996, which makes me 28, plus some change. I remember all the games I have watched since I was about six or so, and that was the worst loss I have ever seen for Ohio State. It’s not the worst team I have seen them lose to. It is not the biggest loss I have seen, and this isn’t the worst season I have seen, but it is the worst individual loss I have seen.
For this Ohio State team to lose at home to that Michigan team in the manner that they did with all of the conversations that have surrounded it — Ryan Day saying how much losing this game haunts him, the seniors that came back for this game specifically, and the predictions that Ohio State would use this game to get three years of losses out of their system.
When a loss like this happens, there are no positives to be taken away. There is nothing to take stock of. You have to sit in the suck, and then figure out how you move on.
For the Buckeyes, moving on will have to have to happen with a quick turnaround, because the season is not over. They will be in the College Football Playoff and maybe even still host a first-round game. That look in the mirror is going to have to come very quickly.
Also, normally, the Stock Market Report is more positive than negative. There is more buy than sell. I don’t know what the positive takeaway from this game is.
Carnell Tate dropped a pass in a key situation, maybe the first drop of his career. Jayden Felding, who had never missed a kick inside 40 yards in his career, missed two. Kaleel Mullings was seemingly tackled behind the line of scrimmage to stall a drive in the fourth quarter, and he ended up getting 30 yards to set up the game-winning field goal.
There were about 10 plays that, if they had gone differently, Ohio State would have won this game. But they didn’t, and it set up for the worst loss in a long, long time.
Those aren’t excuses, but it is just more examples of a team that can’t execute against Michigan, no matter how the rest of the season goes.
That is why it is impossible to accurately do a Stock Market Report. This is The Game, and things work differently in The Game. Ryan Day is 47-1 against Big Ten teams that aren’t named Michigan, and 1-4 against teams that are named Michigan.
The 1-4 record is much more important than the 47-1 record.
