BOOOOM! Four-star 2026 safety Simeon Caldwell commits to Ohio State

The Buckeyes add defensive target Simeon Caldwell to their 2026 class.
Thursday saw another massive addition to Ohio State’s 2026 recruiting class that is growing quickly with elite players. Specifically at the safety position, the Buckeyes couldn’t be doing better as earlier this week they landed five-star talent Blaine Bradford, and now have Florida native Simeon Caldwell in the fold with yesterday’s announcement.
The No. 95 player nationally and seventh best at his position per the 247Sports Composite, Caldwell chose Ohio State over other offers such as Florida, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Texas and several others.
At 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, Caldwell is currently a safety in the prep ranks, but has a frame that could continue to grow and fit perfectly with the role current Buckeye Sonny Styles plays. Regardless of where he lines up, position coach Matt Guerrieri is on fire right now with his top recruiting targets, and has not one but now two elite players in the fold for his defensive room.
Maybe the most exciting aspect of Thursday’s news, Caldwell’s commitment was one thing, but him going out of his way to “shut down” his recruitment really proves his desire to be in Ohio State’s class. Cancelling official visit trips to Miami, Notre Dame, and USC, the Buckeyes have exactly what they want in a leader of the class, and Caldwell should fit in perfectly for the long haul as the rich get a little bit richer.
Always evaluating, there’s rarely a time this Ohio State coaching staff isn’t trying to find new names and new talent to pursue. Keeping with that trend, the Buckeyes sent out their latest offer in the 2027 class to Virginia native, Chris Whitehead.
A 6-foot-5, 210 pound athlete, Whitehead is currently the No. eight player nationally and fourth best edge rusher per the 247Sports Composite. It’s no secret as to why Ohio State decided to enter the mix. Joining nearly 20 other schools to offer, Whitehead holds schools like Florida State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Penn State, Tennessee, and others to his name and more to surely follow suit.
Thanks to Larry Johnson, the DMV is always well recruited for Ohio State and seeing this latest name to be offered should keep that line of communication more than open. Additional names in the 2027 class will come, but here’s the latest to earn a Buckeye offer and rightfully so.
One spot that is likely to work itself sooner rather later, Ohio State is set on taking two running backs in this current class and have several top options to fill that goal. Offers out to every top back in the country and sitting well for many of them, Thursday brought more of the same when Georgia native Carysn Baker kept the Buckeyes in the mix, narrowing it down to just five final schools he’s deciding between.
The No. 175 player nationally and 14th best running back per the 247Sports Composite, Baker has an impressive 50-plus offers to his name so getting down to just five schools is pretty telling for where he’s at in his recruitment.
Keeping Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina, and Ohio State as his finalists, this gives the Buckeyes another top player at the position they’re in a solid place with. With the efforts Carlos Locklyn is putting in with this 2026 class it’s a guarantee Ohio State will have at least one great running back committed before all is said and done.
The No. 24 player nationally and second best safety behind Bradford in the 247Sports Composite, this Ohio State staff has made it clear to all of these players they would play different roles in the Buckeye defensive scheme in hopes they could land at least two of the three. Having landed two already, the Buckeyes will continue to recruit Womack and try to pull off the trifecta.
They will have a major opportunity coming this weekend, as Womack will be in town for an unofficial visit with Ohio State. Most of the time when a team has this many elite players at the same position it’s not common to land more, but right now the momentum behind this staff is truly impressive, and it’s not out of the possibilities to see this have a real chance of happening.

Quick Hits
- With two guys atop of their recruiting board now in the fold for the 2026 class, the only other player at the safety position this staff would still love to have is Mississippi native, Bralan Womack.
The No. 24 player nationally and second best safety behind Bradford in the 247Sports Composite, this Ohio State staff has made it clear to all of these players they would play different roles in the Buckeye defensive scheme in hopes they could land at least two of the three. Having landed two already, the Buckeyes will continue to recruit Womack and try to pull off the trifecta.
They will have a major opportunity coming this weekend, as Womack will be in town for an unofficial visit with Ohio State.
