Better Know A Buckeye is our look at every member of Ohio State’s 2025 recruiting class and how they became Buckeyes as they prepare to begin their OSU careers this fall.
The Buckeyes prioritized St. Ignatius (Cleveland, Ohio) safety Cody Haddad later in the process, but the Northeast Ohio product was always going to stay home once he received the Ohio State offer he had always dreamed of. It didn't take long for the three-star safety to choose the Buckeyes, as he was offered by OSU, decommitted from Wisconsin and committed to Ohio State in the span of three months.
As the saying goes, the best in Ohio stay in Ohio, and Haddad brings the type of versatility to the Buckeyes that has become a big part of Ohio State’s secondary of late.

Cody Haddad​

  • Size: 5-11/175
  • Position: S
  • School: St. Ignatius (Cleveland, Ohio)
  • 247Sports Composite: ★★★
  • Composite Rank: #45 S
  • Overall Rank: #522

How He Became a Buckeye​

Ohio State offered Haddad in January 2024, days after he committed to Wisconsin. The in-state safety's connection to OSU became even more evident when he decommitted from Wisconsin after a weekend visit to Columbus, days after visiting OSU for the weekend in late March of that year.
Haddad built a close relationship with Matt Guerrieri across multiple visits to Ohio State, and that was all he needed to decide the Buckeyes gave him the best opportunity to succeed both on and off the field. Haddad committed to Ohio State on April 13, 2024.
Haddad is the 22nd St. Ignatius alum to play for OSU, following in the footsteps of Buckeye greats such as LeCharles Bentley, Anthony Gonzalez and Dre'Mont Jones. He's the first St. Ignatius product to sign with Ohio State since Tommy Eichenberg did in 2019.

Does a big old coyote wandering across your backyard count?

I may need to pick up a shotgun as they are passing through our yard more and I had one head toward one of my dogs over the winter. Fortunately my dog came when I called in and the coyote took off when it heard my voice.

Top 2027 Ohio State Running Back Target David Gabriel Georges Learning English, How to Love Carlos Lockyn​

English might be David Gabriel Georges’ second language, but nothing about Carlos Locklyn’s coaching intensity was lost in translation on Tuesday.
"That’s something I like, because it pushed me to work my hardest,” Gabriel Georges said after the camp.
It’s an approach that appeals to Gabriel Georges.
The elite 2027 prospect has been coached hard by relatives since he first took up the sport as a child, and though there’s a long way to go in his recruitment, Locklyn will have Ohio State in the thick of a heated battle for his services.
“I’m from a family of football players. My uncle, he is a coach, and the way he coached me was always, ‘Do this, do that.’ Like military kind of (style), like Coach Lock,” Gabriel Georges said with a big smile. “It’s always like, screaming, ‘Cut.’ So it’s something I’m familiar with and I really like that.”

Gabriel Georges is originally from Quebec, Canada, and, as with 22% of Canadians, his first language is French.
He moved to Tennessee to play high school football at Baylor School in Chattanooga. Only then, 11 months ago, did he start learning English, but he’s already absorbed enough to carry on a conversation. He said there are a lot of “really, really nice” teachers and coaches at Baylor School to assist him. Still, there was definitely an adjustment period.
“At first (it was difficult), yeah, because I play in Tennessee, so the first month was pretty hard for me to understand the coaches,” Gabriel Georges said. “School, at the beginning, was pretty hard. And that Baylor team really helped me learn English faster. Right now, sometimes, I can ask questions, repeat it and understand it better. But it’s kind of hard sometimes.”
The choice to pursue his college football ambitions away from home in the United States was difficult, but necessary in Gabriel Georges’ eyes.
“In Canada, you don’t really have good exposure for university and stuff,” Gabriel Georges said. “If I would have stayed in Canada, I would never be able to be here (at Ohio State) or be able to do visits. ... It was (hard), because I’m going to be far from my family and friends. But at some point, it was something I had to do if I wanted to succeed in football and have more exposure and be able to play against good players.”
While Gabriel Georges is new to America, he is not new to American football.

Pittsburgh Pirates (5x WS Champions) Ain't Nutting happenin'

iambrutus
I'm predicting the Pirates to trade either Bailey Falter or Andrew Haney (or both?) before the deadline - they'll pick up an old washed outfielder and low level prospect that will never even sniff the majors. I've given up on this season to the point, I only watch Skenes pitch, and even that pisses me off because he's too good for this damn team
