Ohio State football program flips four-star receiver in massive recruiting move

The Ohio State football team has flipped a four-star receiver from a rival Big 12 program.

The Ohio State football program has done a good job with what they have done on the recruiting trail so far. They already have a top-three recruiting class in the country with what they have done early in the 2026 recruiting cycle. Offensively, they have been strong in their recruiting.

Brian Hartline continues to recruit wide receivers at an incredible clip. He already has a five-star receiver recruit for this class, but he also has landed a four-star in-state receiver as well. On Tuesday afternoon, the Buckeyes added to that receiver total for their 2026 class.

The Ohio State Buckeyes flipped four-star receiver Brock Boyd from TCU. Boyd becomes the third wide receiver in this class and the 11th overall prospect. The Buckeyes were able to pull Boyd out of the state of Texas and flip him from a Texas college as well.

Boyd stands at 6'1 and 165 pounds, so he will need to put on some weight. That shouldn't be an issue once he gets to Ohio State. What is his superpower is his speed. Boyd is someone who can beat defensive backs off the line of scrimmage with his burst.

The Buckeyes are confident that he can be someone who really helps their passing game in a couple of years. As we know, the wide receiver room at Ohio State is the most competitive room in the country. They are doing whatever it takes to make sure that room stays in top shape.

Oregon Ducks (aka U of Nike)

Dan Lanning makes telling admission on how Ohio State is still impacting his life after beating Oregon in the Rose Bowl

img_1327.webp


Ohio State and Ryan Day finally got over the hump last season and won a National Championship. Though they lost to Michigan to end the regular season, the Buckeyes went on a historical run to win it all after that.

Wins over Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame were what Ohio State had to accomplish for Day to capture his first title.

That win over Oregon meant a lot to the Buckeyes, even if it was in the quarterfinal. After losing to the Ducks early in the season in their first year with the Big Ten, Ohio State steamrolled the Ducks by a score of 41-21 and even led 31-0 at one point.

Dan Lanning admits that Ohio State loss is still lingering for him

In an appearance on “Bussin’ With The Boys”, Lanning admitted that the loss to the Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl still causes him to lose sleep.

“That medicine, I wake up every night about that medicine. We struggled early on beating Washington when I first started here. We were able to get over that hump. We were able to beat them this past season,” Lanning explained. “Right now, I wake up thinking about that Rose Bowl game. Didn’t do it the way I wanted to do it, so it motivates me. It makes me hungry to go back to work.”

Ohio State was able to really open up their offense and put up 500 yards on Oregon’s defense. The Buckeyes threw a couple of heavy punches early and the Ducks never recovered. Coming into that game, Oregon was 13-0 and riding high as the No. 1 team.

“Ohio State is an unbelievable team, [they are] really well coached. Coach Day did an unbelievable job this year. But they’re gonna have a ton of guys drafted. They’ve had a lot of success, and so have we. We had a lot of guys go on to the next level. There are things that they did in that game that we didn’t prepare our players well for.”

Ohio State knew they couldn’t attack Oregon the same way they did the first time around and they played better on both sides of the ball. If the 2024 season showed anything though, it is that Oregon is going to be a thorn in Ohio State’s side for the foreseeable future.

I wouldn't argue with you at all. It's the in-between of models.

The old thing is dead/dying and the new thing isn't ready yet. Businesses, products, technologies, organizations, governments etc etc etc one model is on the way out and one is on the way in. That spot in the middle is chaotic.

That is what we are in right now with college football. Old model is broke, new model isn't built yet. I'm kind of taken back by all the pearl clutching to be honest. There is nothing new to mankind happening here. All the money flying around tells us the sport is in no danger of being killed/ruined/broken or whatever other hyperbole people want to throw out there.

It isn't any better or worse than it was before. It's just different.
This

Especially the last sentence

When this happens to “Businesses, products, technologies…” , in other words when it happens to markets, the chaos in between definitely includes objectively bad stuff. The examples are numerous. The markets for land when new western states were made eligible for settlement and the concomitant speculation bubbles, the market for silver in the 1890s and the bubble that created, the new markets for telephony, electricity, and the automobile that all had their bubbles pop at once…. Shit happens and it gets everywhere. In every case, those who adapted to what the new world would look like first did the best, while those who tried to profit from chaos were a sordid mix of villains and victims, sometimes all wrapped up in the same person.

It’s worse when it’s governments. Especially the former Soviet Union. It crashed with nothing in place to handle capitalism. They did not have a system of laws to handle property rights, so there were none. Most of the KGB became the Russian mafia, and they were the only organization there was for awhile. People became billionaires by hiring workers for starvation wages to tear up railroads to sell the tracks as scrap steel, others did the same in tearing up utility infrastructure to sell for scrap. Russia was destroyed and a handful of people became ridiculously wealthy because you had anarchy. Russian soldiers could be seen in Moscow, begging… in uniform… because the government couldn’t pay them. You can’t blame the transition on any form of government because there was none.

All of this to say that, yeah, this is messy. But the standards of value by which we judge this to be a bad thing are purely subjective. When these transitions happen in real life, the result has been hell on earth. This is, at worst, incommodious for those of us who liked things the way they were.

The only truly important thing in college football right now is the utter destruction of the DPIA. The rest is inconsequential

Prospect Rating Data: 247Sports Composite

Boyd caught 111 passes for 1,875 yards and 19 touchdowns in his junior season at Southlake Carroll, helping lead the Dragons to a 15-1 record and a state championship game appearance.

With three receivers now committed, Ohio State will likely add one more wide receiver in the 2026 class. Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, a four-star prospect who plays alongside Henry at Mater Dei High School in Southern California, appears to be the Buckeyes’ top remaining target at the position. Other wide receivers who are scheduled to take official visits to Ohio State this summer include Jalen Lott, Messiah Hampton, Brayden Robinson, Jerquaden Guilford and Jabari Mack, an LSU commit.

The former Boston College sharpshooter brings consistent three-point shooting to the Buckeyes

With one week remaining in the transfer portal window, the only news coming out of Ohio State women’s basketball was outgoing players. That changed Tuesday when former Boston College guard T’Yana Todd committed to the Buckeyes. Todd announced her decision on Instagram Tuesday afternoon.


Todd is a 6-foot guard out of Ontario, Canada who brings a deep shooting threat to the Buckeyes. In 32 games for Boston College during the 2024-25 season, Todd started 29 games and averaged a career high 13.7 points per game.

Not only did Todd lead the Boston College Eagles in scoring but also the entire ACC in shooting efficiency from beyond the arc at 45.9 percent. That put Todd fourth in the country.

Even so, Todd’s 67 three-point shots made per game are fewer than Ohio State shooting guard Chance Gray, who hit 70 shots. In head coach Kevin McGuff’s offense, Todd will get more opportunities to shoot compared to Boston College, where she averaged 4.6 shots from three per game compared to 6.1 for Gray.

The question now for Todd is where does McGuff put the shooting guard who played a similar role for Boston College as Gray did for Ohio State. Todd enters the Buckeyes with three starters gone for the second consecutive season. This time, it’s three-guard Taylor Thierry, who was drafted to the Atlanta Dream on Monday night, and forward Cotie McMahon who transferred to Ole Miss for her final season of NCAA eligibility.

Todd does not play a similar style of basketball to either Thierry or McMahon, but there is nobody else on the team who is a like-for-like for either of the talented former Buckeyes. That means McGuff is likely to adjust his game plan for the group he brings into the 25-26 season, headlined by sophomore point guard Jaloni Cambridge.

As a member of the Canadian youth national team, Todd helped her U19 side win Canada’s second ever World Cup medal when they defeated France in the 2023 bronze medal game.

In 2022 and 2023, Todd played against the Buckeyes as a member of Boston College. In Boston, Todd scored 10 points with three steals. On Nov. 16, 2023, Todd traveled to Columbus with the Eagles and led BC with 16 points. Both games ended with victories for Ohio State.

McGuff has said in the past that he uses the portal to fill gaps in the team and all signs point to Todd coming in for that three-point shooting. Now, Ohio State needs more defensive help in the press. Todd averaged one steal per game last season and 1.3 in the 23-24, which is her career high.

With the addition of Todd, Ohio State’s roster is up to 10 players for next season. That does not include redshirt sophomore center Faith Carson, who entered the transfer portal on March 24, 2025.

Here are highlights of Todd last season, in a win against Miami.

Former Boston College guard T’yana Todd, who ranked fourth in the NCAA last season with a 3-point shooting percentage of 45.9%, announced her commitment to Ohio State on Tuesday.

Todd, who has one remaining year of eligibility, is transferring to Ohio State after averaging double digits in all three of her seasons at Boston College. The Canadian guard led the Eagles with 13.7 points per game last season after averaging 11.8 points per game as a sophomore and 10 points per game as a freshman.
