Ohio State is also in the top 3 for Bryce Smalls who says he will visit Ohio State, Tennessee and Alabama for games this fall.

Georgia’s 247 insider says Ohio State is the school with the most buzz around Jai’lil Goley, a consistent theme for the past month. Goley is planning a late season visit to Ohio State.


He was also told that Georgia Tech is the school leading the way for Amaree Joshua but had Ohio State heavily involved as well. Joshua said his visit to Ohio State was the best visit of his recruitment thus far.

2028 TN DB Jermaine Cobbins (Verbal Offer)

Jermaine Cobbins said the 3 schools he’s focused on the most coming out of the summer are Ohio State, Oregon and Vanderbilt. Said Texas is pushing hard as well and he could end up visiting them for a game this season.

Chad Simmons says this recruitment has been fluid with Georgia having the early momentum, then Tennessee, now Ohio State entering the season. Will be a long process here.

2028 GA DB Casey Barner (Verbal Offer)

Sounds like the three main schools in Casey Barner’s recruitment are Ohio State, Georgia, and Miami. Miami seems to be going all out in the 2028 cycle. Unfortunately with that horrible schedule they’ll probably make the playoff again this year too.

Casey Barner said he’d pick Ohio State as his #1 school today. Chad Simmons says Ohio State is STRONG in this recruitment.

305Buck 28 Jul 2026, 9:40 am
Barner told Simmons he will make an early commitment if he feels ready, he’s not looking to drag out his process.

Slight correction, Chad Simmons said he’d have Ohio State as the leader in this recruitment not Casey Barner.

Great sign either way.

2028 MI OL Antijuan Wilkes, Jr. (Verbal Offer)

Some good insight from Antijuan Wilkes with the A&M On3 site. He wants to commit relatively soon, likely after his Junior season ends this fall. Although it wouldnt be a surprise if that stretched into the winter/early spring. The four schools standing out: “Definitely Ohio State, Texas A&M, Florida and Missouri.”

Will be an Ohio State and Texas A&M battle and hopefully we’re willing to compete NIL wise.

One program we’ve heard a lot about for the Michigan native is Ohio State, which has been able to pick up some early momentum for one of the nation’s premier offensive line prospects and may be the biggest competitor to this point for Wilkes.
“Really everything stands out about them. They’re a winning program and have won a lot the last two years. They’re also in the Big Ten, which is nice. I’d love to play at Ohio State, for sure.”

2027 GA DL David "DJ" Jacobs is a Buckeye!!!

Recent news from the last thread:

  • Tennessee is showing interest in EDGE commit David Jacobs. Right now, Jacobs' camp is downplaying any significance.
305Buck:
New Wiltfong article on DJ Jacobs:
Tennessee pushing harder than Miami now at trying to flip. Jacob’s father said it’s nothing serious.
Says his son is strongly tracking to sign with Ohio State.
They will make gameday visits around the country for Dawson but also plan to be at a couple Ohio State games this season as well.
KJHillEnthusiast:
To further what 305 said, on3 put out an article essentially baiting drama saying “Tennessee is pushing for a flip” trying to make it seem like it’s a high possibility. When in reality they’re just in his ear. His own father says he’s more than likely signing with us. I really wish people weren’t so delusional and already writing him as a VOL
