Ohio State has added another top cornerback to its 2026 recruiting class.
Jay Timmons, a four-star prospect ranked as the No. 17 cornerback and No. 136 overall prospect in the 2026 class, announced his commitment to Ohio State on Thursday.

The Timmons File​

• Class: 2026
• Size: 5-11/185
• Pos: CB
• School: Pine-Richland (Gibsonia, Pennsylvania)
• Composite Rating: ★★★★
• Composite Rank: #136 (#17 CB)

Timmons, the son of former Florida State and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons, had been committed to FSU since June. Family ties weren’t enough for the struggling Seminoles to keep Timmons in their class, however, as he chose to play for Tim Walton and Ohio State’s secondary instead.
He becomes the second cornerback in Ohio State’s 2026 class, joining Jordan Thomas, the No. 11 cornerback and No. 98 overall prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the class.
A 5-foot-11, 185-pound cornerback from Pine-Richland High School in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, Timmons initially committed to Indiana in April. He flipped to Florida State after receiving an offer from the Seminoles. Now, Timmons is set to play for the Buckeyes, filling the need for Ohio State to add a second cornerback in the class after Jakob Weatherspoon flipped his commitment to North Carolina in July.

Welcome to Buckeyes Nation Jay!!!

KJ having a great season!

this poster has been pretty spot on in the Latimer recruitment...

Latimer waited himself out of being a Buckeye. Only way that happens now is if Tennessee is successful in re-recruiting Bey to them. As of now, Bey will be a Buckeye and Latimer will stick with Wisconsin if Miami doesn’t make a bigger push for him.

What was that kid from scUM who also said/did annoying and corny shit like this?

T. Wolfe, or some dumb noise.

Same same. It's not an act, this kid believes it. But that doesn't make it any less eye rolling.

Fucking clown shoes.

He's 100% right with the caveat-public accountability can't mean weekly death threats for these guys because their name and home address made it into the hands of some enraged fanbase (any all fanbases would do it).

I have said full time officials for years.
