The Buckeyes are also trending for a 2026 five-star safety.
Ohio State has less than two weeks before it kicks off the 2024 regular season. As the new campaign quickly approaches, this year’s current roster of Buckeyes is coming together. In the last week, Ohio State has announced its starting quarterback, its captains and who will don the Block 0 jersey for this season.
With so much attention on the start of the season, it would be easy to think that focus on recruiting would slow down. And while that may be true to an extent, Ryan Day and the Ohio State coaching staff knows that recruiting never stops.
This mantra held true on Monday, as Ohio State made multiple recruiting headlines to start the week.
When thinking of Ohio State recruiting, most would first think of the success of Brian Hartline at bringing the nation’s top talents to Columbus. In the current 2025 cycle, the Buckeyes already hold commitments from four-star WR Quincy Porter and De’zie Jones as well as three-star Ohio WR Bodpegn Miller.
This certainly is an impressive haul once again, but it is also fair to point out this haul does not have the same pedigree as in year’s past. Ohio State is certainly not done recruiting the position, and on Monday the team learned it made the cut for 2025 four-star WR Jerome Myles (Draper, UT / Corner Canyon).
Ohio State is not alone it its pursuit of Myles, and alongside the Buckeyes, Georgia, Texas A&M, Utah and USC also made the cut.
Myles has been able to take official visits to both Utah and Texas A&M, but has not yet been able to visit with the remaining three finalists. Because of this, the hometown school of Utah has an early lead, and it is one that will be tough for the Buckeyes to surpass.
Following the announcement of his commitment date, a flurry of predictions in favor of Utah were cast for Myles across multiple recruiting websites. However, Ohio State has not yet been able to host him on an official visit, and hopes to get him on campus for an in-game official visit.
The fact the team is considered a finalist after only offering him in July and not yet hosting him on a visit means he is truly considering the Buckeyes. If he his able to get to Columbus for a game this year, the Buckeyes chances could jump exponentially.
Myles is the No. 7 WR in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 45 overall prospect. He is also the No. 1 recruit out of Utah.
Ohio State is putting the finishing touches on its 2025 class — one that holds 24 verbal commitments and is No. 1 in the 247Sports Class Rankings. This has afforded the Buckeyes with the opportunity to place focus on next year’s cycle.
Ohio State already has one verbal commitment in the 2026 class in five-star WR Chris Henry Jr., and the team is making headway with multiple others. One of the recruits the Buckeyes would love to add to its class is five-star safety Bralan Womack (Flowood, MS / Hartfield Academy) and the team learned recently it moved one step closer to earning his commitment.
Over the weekend Womack released his top 10 schools, and Ohio State made the cut.
Alongside the Buckeyes, Womack also included Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Mississippi State, Alabama, Nebraska, Tennessee, Louisville, Texas and LSU.
It is still early in his recruitment and he has yet to take any official visits, so no team has truly separated themselves from the pack. Tom Loy of 247Sports offered some more insight into Womack’s recruitment, and he thinks Ohio State is currently the top team to beat.
Womack is the No. 3 safety in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 23 overall prospect. He is also the No. 1 recruit out of Mississippi.

You’re Nuts: Picking a fifth Ohio State captain on the 2024 roster

The Buckeyes have named their four captains for the season, but we are adding one more.
Everybody knows that one of the best parts of being a sports fan is debating and dissecting the most (and least) important questions in the sporting world with your friends. So, we’re bringing that to the pages of LGHL with our favorite head-to-head column: You’re Nuts.
In You’re Nuts, two LGHL staff members will take differing sides of one question and argue their opinions passionately. Then, in the end, it’s up to you to determine who’s right and who’s nuts.
The Ohio State football team named four captains this past weekend, with TreVeyon Henderson, Emeka Egbuka, Jack Sawyer, and Cody Simon all receiving honors for the 2024-25 season. The latter was also named recipient of OSU’s ceremonial “Block O” jersey, created in memory of Bill Willis.
Simon will be the fifth Buckeye to don No. 0, following in the footsteps of (other) inspirational leaders Jonathon Cooper, Thayer Munford, Kamryn Babb, and Xavier Johnson.
All four of the current players above are inarguably deserving of captaincy, for a multitude of seasons. Not the least of which is the fact that they were voted for by their teammates and peers.
Sawyer seemed like a no-brainer after he led the charge for several draft-eligible players to return to Columbus and chase a championship, while Simon exemplifies hard work, dedication, and persistence (among other strong character traits). Henderson and Egbuka are two of the most talented players on Ohio State’s roster, both of whom put off or delayed individual opportunities in order to pursue team goals.
With all of that being said, it seems like there are (at least) a few other deserving captains on this OSU team... In Gene and I’s opinion. Which doesn’t count for much. Or anything, really. But when we’re 12 days out from the Buckeyes’ opener and preseason debates seem redundant, those opinions inspire world-renowned You’re Nuts “debates”.
So, again, not that anybody did or would ask, but my writing partner and I decided to share or discuss who we thought could have – or should have? – been named a fifth and/or sixth captain for Ohio State. And I will keep my part brief, because I just wrote about this player last week.
In my opinion, Gee Scott Jr. would make a great captain. Because not only has he been a Buckeye for five years at this point, but he has also worked his tail off and made a ton of sacrifices in his OSU career. Originally recruited as a wide receiver, Scott Jr. was asked or encouraged to move to tight end and did so willingly. Rather than leave or even quit at the first sign of adversity, he instead put his team first and made an unselfish decision.
In today’s world of college football, most would not have done the same. Especially if or when they knew they were likely to sit behind others for three seasons and rarely catch a pass. But Scott Jr. put his ego aside and bought all the way in. And he believed in both his coaches and the Ohio State brotherhood.
But most of all, Scott Jr. believed in God’s plan, something about which the fifth-year Buckeye has been very vocal. And his words seem to have had or made a real impact on the “real” lives of many, including several of his OSU teammates. There is perhaps no better proof of this than the fact that on July 14, Scott Jr. personally baptized seven of them.
Whether one believes in a higher power or not, it seems impossible to argue that Gee Scott Jr.’s leadership is present both on and off the field. And that’s regardless of position, role, or stats. Which makes him a great captain candidate in my book.
Ohio State did a great job of balancing out its captains between two offensive and two defensive players, and like Josh previously laid out, all four guys to receive the honor are more than deserving. In the spirit of maintaining that balance, I will look to name my captain on the defensive side with my You’re Nuts partner adding to the offense.
My selection for an addition Buckeye captain is a no-brainer in my eyes: cornerback Denzel Burke.
The senior, like many of the talented players around him, could have elected to enter the NFL Draft at the conclusion of last season, but decided to return to Columbus for one more year to chase a national title. Burke has started in 35 games at Ohio State over the past three years, recording 95 total tackles, two interceptions and 26 pass breakups. The DB had a bit of a down year as a sophomore, but regained his lockdown corner abilities as a junior and is looking to parlay that into a dominant senior campaign.
Ohio State has a good group of captains to help lead the team in 2024, but pretty much all of them are a bit on the quieter side — at least publicly. While I'm sure guys like Egbuka and Henderson are vocal leaders behind closed doors, the Buckeyes could use a player who is going to light a fire under the team when it's needed on the field.
Burke has never been afraid to speak his mind. He is far and away the most entertaining interview of any of the players on the current roster, as he doesn’t shy away from saying exactly how he is feeling rather than sugarcoating things for the media or giving a cookie-cutter answer. Burke is also a player that gets visibly amped up after big plays by he and his teammates, and isn’t afraid to talk the talk to opposing players since he knows he can back it up.
The cornerback is going to be an incredibly important player for Ohio State this season, even though he isn’t officially one of the captains. He brings a ton of experience and leadership to a defensive unit that is expected to be one of the best in the country, and he will be an excellent motivator when the team could use a little extra juice. In my opinion, Burke would make a perfect captain for the 2024 Buckeyes.

Cody Simon a worthy recipient of Ohio State’s ‘Block O’ jersey

The veteran linebacker has proven his leadership over the years, and will don the school’s Block O jersey in 2024.
Senior linebacker Cody Simon is the latest player to earn the right to wear Ohio State’s Block O jersey — a tradition inspired by and dedicated to the late college and pro football hall of famer Bill Willis, whose No. 99 is retired by the Buckeyes. Simon joins previous recipients Jonathon Cooper (2020), Thayer Munford (2021), Kamyrn Babb (2022), and Xavier Johnson (2023).
He’ll turn in his No. 30 and start wearing No. 0 on Saturdays.
The jersey is given annually to players exhibiting Willis’ character, toughness, and leadership. That’s what makes Simon a worthy recipient of the honor, and only the second non-Ohioan to earn the Block O jersey.
Now in his fifth season in Columbus, the Jersey City, NJ native has already received his degree at Ohio State and is now in graduate school. He earned his degree in finance in 2023 and was a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar, an OSU Scholar-Athlete and a member of the Academic All-Big Ten Conference team. It was his fourth time as an OSU Scholar-Athlete, and his third time receiving Academic All-Big Ten honors.
Simon has been a steady contributor throughout his Ohio State career, but he is expected to step up to a new level in 2024. Not only will he be the new starting Mike linebacker, replacing 2023 starter Tommy Eichenberg, but he was named one of four OSU team captains for 2024 on Saturday.
During the pandemic-marred 2020 season, Simon managed to get on the field for six games as a freshman linebacker and special teamer, including appearances in the two College Football Playoff games against Clemson and Alabama. Simon managed four tackles in limited action that year.
Making a big jump his sophomore year, Simon finished fourth on the Buckeyes in tackles (54), including eight in one game at Nebraska and seven each against three of the four ‘M’ schools: Minnesota, Maryland, and Michigan. Simon also had his first career interception against Akron, returning it 24 yards.
He finished the season with a sack, 2.5 tackles for loss, a pass breakup, and three quarterback hurries. Unfortunately, an injury prevented Simon from participating in Ohio State’s Rose Bowl victory over Utah and kept him out of 2022 spring practice.
Simon slipped to seventh on the team in tackles in 2022, finishing with 32. He recorded 5.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, a forced fumble, and a quarterback hurry in his third season. His biggest performances in 2022 were a pair of six-tackle performances against Arkansas State and Iowa.
In 2023, Simon climbed back to fourth on the team in tackles (57). He did not record a sack, but tallied three tackles for loss and two pass breakups. His 57 tackles, 24 solos and 33 assists were all career highs, and he had big games against Rutgers and Purdue, recording nine and eight tackles, respectively.
Now as a captain and the recipient of the Block O jersey, more will be expected of Simon in 2024. A promising career that seemed on a high trajectory his senior year when he started 10 games is back on track. With the support of his teammates and coaches — Ohio State linebackers coach James Laurinitis recently called him the unquestioned leader of the group — Simon is poised for a statement season in his final year in Columbus.

Will the Big Ten emerge as the new super conference now that Nick Saban has retired?
Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s Power Two Podcast. On this show, we talk about Big Ten and SEC football… and everyone else. This show is for the die-hard fans and the casual college football fans.
After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the major matchups of the previous weekend and look ahead at the games, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week.
My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host DaNaysia Jones. Lock in as we run a power sweep through the college football landscape.
There are just a few short days before Week 0 of the 2024 College Football Season. We conclude our season previews with the Big Ten Conference, which stands at the national spotlight's forefront. With storied programs, new faces and high expectations, this season promises to be one of the most competitive and intriguing in recent memory.
The Big Ten’s reputation as one of the premier conferences in college football is on the line. With the SEC’s dominance in recent years, the Big Ten’s top teams must prove they can compete at the highest level. In a post-Nick Saban world, anything can happen — especially for the top contenders.
Ohio State, Oregon, and Penn State emerge as the conference’s heavyweights. Ohio State, led by head coach Ryan Day, boasts a roster loaded with NFL talent. Is this the season that they end the 10-year drought without a National Championship?
Will the newest edition, Oregon, stack up to their potential or will the competitiveness of this conference be too much? Should Penn State be satisfied with a playoff spot but potentially no advancement? DJ and Jordan answer these questions and more.
This season, more than ever, the Big Ten has the opportunity to send multiple teams to the College Football Playoff. With a 12-team CFP on the horizon, the stakes are high, and every game will matter.
If you like the show, please share it with friends and family and leave a five-star review. If you want to keep up with the show, you can subscribe to the Land-Grant Podcast Network Feed where new episodes drop every Monday.
