Ohio State can remind Kyle Whittingham who owns the Big Ten by landing 4-star CB
Will the Buckeyes be able to land the touted playmaker?Ohio State is hoping to land 4-star CB Monsanna Torbert over Michigan and others
As we've said time and time again, Day is never going to want to let elite in-state talent leave home. With the drive from Cincinnati to Columbus being around 90 minutes, compared to almost four hours to Ann Arbor, you've got to figure that'd give Ohio State a bit of an advantage here. Day can sell the youngster on playing close to home, with family and friends being able to watch him in action much easier.As for Michigan, it's looking to work some magic here too, as the 5-10, 160-pounder is set to take his official visit to the UM campus on June 19. Back-to-back weekends at Ohio State and Michigan sure makes this recruiting race a bit more intriguing.
At one point, Torbert was Indiana-bound, giving Curt Cignetti his verbal pledge. However, the Ohio product decided to open up his recruitment, which was obviously welcomed news for OSU fans. Now, the Buckeyes are upping their efforts in trying to land him this time around, though Michigan and others are hoping to make things difficult.
According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Torbert is ranked four stars, the No. 13 cornerback in the country, No. 5 player out of Ohio, and No. 102 prospect nationally for the 2027 class. He currently holds 34 offers to his name, which speaks to how highly touted of a playmaker he is. This is of course all something Day knows and understands.
Thus far for the '27 haul, Ohio State is up to 13 commits, highlighted of course by 5-star EDGE DJ Jacobs and 5-star wide receiver Jamier Brown. Interestingly enough, there are no cornerbacks on the list yet, which is why the Buckeyes are making Torbert a top priority moving forward. For his official visit, Day is going to have to turn his head in the best way possible.
This is something Whittingham will look to do next weekend too, as he knows there's going to be extra pressure to match what Ohio State gets done. We'll give credit to Whittingham, as he's been on fire landing commits for the Wolverines. However, Day and Co. can serve him up some humble pie by getting things over the line with Torbert. Should that happen, it will be a key reminder for Michigan that Ohio State still has a bit of power over them both on and off the field.
