2024 four-star WR Keylen Adams via @brodie3x on Twitter
The Buckeyes offered a 2024 four-star wide receiver and are trending for a four-star running back.
The Ohio State football team has been dominating the recruiting headlines as of late. This past weekend, the Buckeyes earned a commitment from 2024 four-star quarterback Air Noland. The addition of Noland sets Ohio State’s 2024 recruiting class at nine total verbal commitments, good enough for No. 4 in the country.
Don’t expect things to slow down anytime soon either, as the Buckeyes are entering Spring Game week. This coming Saturday will be the biggest recruiting weekend for Ohio State this spring. A large amount of former and future Buckeyes will be on hand to watch the current Buckeyes take the field for the Spring Game.
With recruiting at the forefront of Ohio State’s focus, the Buckeyes made headlines again, Monday.
Ohio State is once again building an elite haul at the wide receiver position for its 2024 class. The Buckeyes already hold verbal commitments from the No. 1 WR Jeremiah Smith and the No. 5 WR Mylan Graham and they are looking to add to the prolific duo.
The Buckeyes are heavily involved with multiple, still-available WR’s in the 2024 class, and on Monday they extended an official scholarship to four-star WR Keylen Adams.
Adams was on hand this past weekend for an unofficial visit and with the above news, the visit went as well as possible. However, the Buckeyes are not alone in his recruitment and have some difficult competition if they want to earn a commitment from him. Adams has already previously made unofficial visits with Penn State, Miami and Virginia Tech and has seen an uptick in contact from Alabama, Auburn and Texas A&M.
Ohio State will look to continue recruiting Adams, but will likely need to get him back on campus for an official visit if it is going to land him.
The Buckeyes are going to be able to be picky at WR for the remainder of the 2024 recruiting cycle, and as was previously mentioned are heavily involved in recruiting battles for other blue-chip WR’s — and are finalists for four-star Jeremiah McClellan. Either Adams or McClellan would make for an excellent pairing with Smith and Graham and if Ohio State can somehow get both, it may be the program’s best haul at the position - and that is saying a lot.

Quick Hits
- Ohio State made the cut for 2024 three-star defensive lineman Jayden Jackson on Monday. Alongside Ohio State, Jackson included Texas, Miami, Auburn, Florida, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Colorado in his top 12 schools. Jackson may only be a three-star prospect, but he has seen his recruitment take off as of late, and it is evident by the caliber of programs in his top schools list.
- Ohio State’s women’s basketball team earned a commitment from 2024 wing Seini Hicks out of Cincinnati on Monday. Hicks is the sister of 2026 Ohio State wide-receiver target Chris Henry Jr.
- Ohio State earned a crystal ball prediction on Monday from 2024 four-star running back Mile Lockhart. The prediction was cast by 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong and he is now the third recruiting expect to peg Ohio State as Lockhart’s school of choice. The Buckeyes earned a commitment from four-star RB James Peoples earlier this month and the pair would make for an incredible haul at the position.

Taylor Mikesell selected by Indiana Fever in 2023 WNBA Draft

The former Buckeye star guard goes from the amateur to the professional ranks
Monday night, eight days after the NCAA women’s basketball season ended, the excitement for the Ohio State women’s basketball team didn’t end. On a night where 36 college players are hearing their names called to various WNBA teams, former Scarlet & Gray guard Taylor Mikesell heard her name called. With the first pick in the second round, the sharpshooter landed with the Indiana Fever.
Mikesell becomes a professional following an impressive five years in the NCAA. However, in the last two specifically, donning the scarlet and gray of Ohio State, pushed the Buckeyes to accomplishments it hasn’t seen in 30 years.
Starting all 68 games on the Scarlet & Gray’s over the past two seasons, Mikesell transferred to Ohio State at a time of flux for the program. With two starters transferring before the 21-22 season, the Massillon, Ohio guard transferred back to her home state following a tough season off the court in the Oregon Ducks program.
In Mikesell’s two seasons in Columbus, Ohio, the guard led all Buckeyes in scoring, averaging 17.9 points per game and shot 44.2% from beyond the arc. The 22-23 season especially showed the force of Mikesell.
After the first seven games of the season, including wins against ranked Tennessee Volunteer and Louisville Cardinal sides, fellow guard Jacy Sheldon went down with a lower leg injury that made Mikesell the lone consistent target from deep for Ohio State. That led Mikesell to receive more attention on defense; even more than normal.
Even so, Mikesell led Power Five conference players in three-point shooting for players taking at least 250 attempts. Mikesell sent up 280, going 41.4% from beyond the arc. Mikesell capped her career off in the Elite Eight, going 7-for-11 from three-point range, tying a program record for most in an NCAA Tournament game.
The Fever added Mikesell along with the No. 1 overall pick in South Carolina forward Aliyah Boston and the No. 7 pick with Grace Berger from the Indiana Hoosiers. That also puts Mikesell alongside fellow Buckeye Kelsey Mitchell, on a team full of young talent and a side that gives her a stronger chance of making it to the final roster.
Mikesell is the 16th player from Ohio State to hear their name called in the WNBA Draft since 2001, and the first since 2018. Although, the former Buckeye who transferred to Florida Gulf Coast University, guard Kierstan Bell, went to the Las Vegas Aces in the 2022 WNBA Draft.
In that 2018 draft, Buckeye legends Mitchell and Stephanie Mavunga each went to the Indiana Fever, with Mitchell still playing for the Indianapolis-based side.
Joining Mikesell at the draft were 14 other draftees. Included in that group were two Big Ten guards. The first, Maryland Terrapins’ Diamond Miller, went to the Minnesota Lynx with the second overall pick.
