Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, Notre Dame and USC are all already recruiting this kid hard. It’s been said that he’s expected to be the best player on Sierra Canyon’s DL which also includes Kasi Currie and Marcus Fakatou.
This is a shocking DL to have on one college team let alone a high school.

2027 PA RB Kemon Spell (Penn St. Decommit, Georgia Verbal)

Kemon Spell hasn’t ruled out visiting Miami and other schools for games this season. This was always what I expected to happen with the numbers being thrown around for DGG. There was no way Spell wasn’t going to want more money.

Birm has indicated that Ohio State has no interest in paying what it would take to flip him from Georgia.

DJ Jacobs is expected to visit Ohio State for 2-3 games this season, no word yet what those games are but my guesses would be Illinois (maybe), Oregon and Michigan.

I could see the staff wanting him to get on campus early in the season for that Illinois game and late in the season.

2028 PA WR Jett Harrison is a Buckeye!!!

Ohio State five-star WR recruit Jett Harrison signs huge NIL Deal

The 2028 prospect has already signed an NIL deal, despite not enrolling in school for two more seasons.

Ohio State landed a commitment from five-star receiver Jett Harrison a few weeks ago. He became the first blue-chip recruit for the Buckeyes in the 2028 recruiting class. He is the brother of all-time great Marvin Harrison Jr. Of course, he is also getting a healthy amount of NIL money to come to Columbus.

The Buckeyes don't disclose how much their deals are worth publicly. However, they allow their athletes to sign with any company, including competitors of their sponsors. That's what Harrison has done, as he has signed a shoe deal with a competitor of school sponors Nike.

Ohio State recruit Jett Harrison signs NIL deal with New Balance

An ad by New Balance has been released, showing Harrison catching footballs. They have announced an NIL deal with Harrison, even though he is two years away from enrolling at Ohio State. High school students in certain states are allowed to receive NIL deals.

In the ad, the entire Harrison family can be seen. Perhaps the entire family has decided to sign a deal, which is why they wanted to include Jett Harrison in it. If this is what it takes for the Buckeyes to bring him in, this is certainly worth it from a business perspective.

Harrison is rated as the fourth-best recruit in the 2028 recruiting class. He is also listed as the second-best receiver in the class. While the specifics of this NIL deal have not been released, it's unlikely that this is the only NIL deal that he will be getting once he gets to Columbus.

In order for Harrison to be worth all of his NIL money, he needs a good quarterback to be throwing him the ball. The Buckeyes are working on that, and they are projected to land five-star quarterback Christopher Vargas this weekend, who is also in the 2028 recruiting class.

After Adam Gorney called his shot yesterday on Gaige Weddle to Ohio State, Chad Simmons calls his shot today for Casey Barner to Ohio State.

Said Ohio State continues to set the pace here and noted that Barner has visited 3 times already and is very comfortable with Matt G, Walton and Matt P.

2026 Fall Camp and Other Tidbits

Top Five Position Battles to Watch As Ohio State Begins 2026 Preseason Camp

163213_h.JPG


Multiple starting jobs on both sides of the ball will be up for grabs as Ohio State begins preseason camp.

Offensively, Ohio State has eight returning starters plus a presumed starter at tight end in Nate Roberts, yet the Buckeyes will still have major position battles this preseason along the offensive line and at wide receiver.

Defensively, Ohio State has plenty of ongoing competition for playing time with only three returning starters in Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Jaylen McClain and Jermaine Mathews Jr. Payton Pierce, Devin Sanchez and Earl Little Jr. all look like locks to start, too, while offseason transfer additions Christian Alliegro and Terry Moore are also likely starters, but there are plenty of others also pushing for playing time in the back seven while multiple starting jobs are up for grabs along the defensive line.

With that in mind, we’re taking a look at the top five position battles that will be hanging in the balance as the Buckeyes take the field for their 25 preseason practices, which start Thursday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Notre Dame (football only discussion)

Well, all that being said, would prefer to see tOSU #8 or somesuch, as being pre-season #1, means the only place to go is down. But if the pre-season losses happen to be 2 for the Buckeyes, won't be there long. Guess am wishing for a first round bye in the playoffs, and don't really care about who they face. Hopefully Day can keep the team from being complacent and arrogant.
Ohio State has never won a championship when #1 in the opening polls. Let tejas have it. We'll take it in week 2.

2027 OH WR Jamier Brown is a Buckeye!!!

Five-Star Ohio State Wide Receiver Commit Jamier Brown Returns to Wayne High School After Offseason Transfer to Big Walnut​

Brown, the No. 4 wide receiver and No. 25 overall prospect in the 2027 class, spent the winter and spring at Big Walnut and ran track for the Golden Eagles, winning the Division II state title in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.42 seconds. Now, however, Brown is back at Wayne, where he became one of the state’s top high school football players over the last three years.

That said, it’s unclear whether Brown will be eligible to play for the Warriors this season. While Brown received a transfer exception from the OHSAA to compete in track and field for Big Walnut this spring, an OHSAA official told the Columbus Dispatch last month that he would have to reapply for another transfer exception to play football for Big Walnut after the first five games of the season. Now, Brown will have to go through the eligibility process again after transferring back to Wayne.

Brown’s return to Wayne will only be for five months, as he plans to enroll at Ohio State in January to begin his Buckeye career as a midyear enrollee.

2028 FL RB Elijah Newman-Hall is a Buckeye!!!

Finally got around to watching his film and some camp clips. Holy guacamole this kid is a stud. Best RB commit we've had that I've watched film on since...Dobbins maybe? Gotta hang on here (we should, he seems as solid as it gets), this kid is an electric bell cow...sounds like an emo alt rock band, but you get the picture.
