Ohio State offers twins in 2027 class, checks on a top 2026 cornerback

The Buckeyes continue to recruit California hard with another two offers worth mentioning.
Ohio State was active on the recruiting trail Wednesday, offering a handful of new names from all over. Among them, it was in the late hours of the evening when the latest offer recipients — a set of twins — took to their social media accounts to update their recruitment.
Starting with a California native edge rusher, St. John Bosco product Ethan Coach now has the Buckeyes on the list. The No. 432 player nationally and 33rd best at his position per the 247Sports Composite for the 2027 class, Coach holds double-digit offers, and Ohio State is arguably his most impressive to date.
California continues to be a recruiting region Ohio State is all over, and Coach will hear from the staff often as his prep powerhouse is constantly churning out top national recruits.
Moving on to brother Justin Coach, he too was on the receiving end of an Ohio State offer which makes sense considering the caliber of players both are. A 6-foot-2, 205 pound linebacker, Justin is the No. 422 player nationally and 31st best at his position per the 247Sports Composite.
Like Ethan, Justin’s offer list has some impressive contenders, but the Buckeyes now entering the mix should cause a domino effect for more top suitors to come calling.
For now, the Buckeyes offering these two twin brothers means they’ll do what it takes to see them visit, but as 2027 prospects, there’s time for the relationship to get started and the right way.
The Buckeyes are seeing their name in the mix for high-profile players almost daily, and Thursday was no different.
Releasing a list of a final five schools on Thursday, Texas native Legend Bey kept Ohio State under his consideration with Duke, Texas, Texas A&M, and West Virginia also in the running. The No. 430 player nationally and 29th best athlete in the 2026 class per the 247Sports Composite, Bey is also listed as a quarterback and the staff is still looking for their guy at the position.
New names are starting to emerge for Ohio State, but until they zero in on one major candidate it’s anyone’s guess as to who they’ll end up with. Multiple predictions in favor of Texas A&M for Bey, the Buckeyes may be on the outside looking in right now, but recruiting can change in an instant if this staff goes all in.
Making another stop on Thursday, Walton had Oho State in the mind of four-star cornerback, Justice Fitzpatrick (Fort Lauderdale, Florida/St. Thomas Aquinas) when he took time to visit in-person.
The No. 48 player nationally and fourth best at his position per the 247Sports Composite, Fitzpatrick has all of the tools including the lineage to be a real star at the next level. Making his last trek to Columbus this past March, the Buckeyes would love nothing more than to get him back to campus in the coming weeks and if so, certainly Ohio State has a shot here.

Quick Hits
- Fully set on adding additional cornerbacks to this 2026 recruiting class, position coach Tim Walton has been putting in the miles as of late visiting multiple of the top names on his big board.
Making another stop on Thursday, Walton had Oho State in the mind of four-star cornerback, Justice Fitzpatrick (Fort Lauderdale, Florida/St. Thomas Aquinas) when he took time to visit in-person.
The No. 48 player nationally and fourth best at his position per the 247Sports Composite, Fitzpatrick has all of the tools including the lineage to be a real star at the next level.

Ohio State Basketball Transfer Portal Target Darrion Williams Commits to NC State
Ohio State basketball transfer target Darrion Williams committed to NC State on Thursday.
Ohio State Basketball Transfer Portal Target Darrion Williams Commits to NC State
Login to view embedded mediaJust sayin': Puff Johnson may not get another year of eligibility. He's already played in 5 seasons and would need some kind of NCAA ruling to get a 6th year.
Penn State basketball’s Puff Johnson to enter transfer portal despite no remaining eligibility
Johnson completed his fifth season of college eligibility earlier this year. He spent the first three years of his career at North Carolina before transferring back to his home state and spending the past two seasons with the Nittany Lions. In 2024-25, Johnson used the extra year of eligibility available to him because of the COVID-19 pandemic to play a fifth year.Johnson dealt with injuries during his career — he was limited to 14 games as a freshman at North Carolina in 2020-21 and 17 games this past year at Penn State — but that missed time doesn't seem as if it would reach the threshold to qualify for a medical redshirt.
But he follows a trend of players whose eligibility has seemingly expired that are entering the transfer portal. The looming House vs. NCAA antitrust settlement could change eligibility framework, which has traditionally been athletes having five years to play four.

CFP approves new seeding model next season
The College Football Playoff is moving to a straight seeding model, giving the top four teams by seed a first-round bye, the CFP committee announced Thursday.
Just sayin': Yeah, basically I agree. So far the "straight seeding" is just for 2025; it could all change again in 2026.
