2026 AL DL Emanuel Ruffin (Verbal Offer)

Emanuel Ruffin to commit on July 4​

Ohio State landed a key defensive line target on Tuesday evening, as four-star defensive end Khary Wilder committed to the Buckeyes late in the evening. It was Larry Johnson’s first commit of the 2026 cycle.

He’s hoping to add plenty more by the time the summer concludes.

Johnson will get an answer from four-star Alabama defensive tackle Emanuel Ruffin soon as he has set a decision date for July 4.


Ruffin will choose from Ohio State, LSU, Texas, Alabama and Georgia. He took his official visit with the Buckeyes last weekend and has trips scheduled to LSU and Alabama ahead of his commitment. There’s no clear leader for Ruffin at the moment, so we’ll see how hard Johnson and company push for his commitment next month depending on how the rest of official visit season goes.
