My bad, you’re right. All the press about Walt totally made me forget about Matt G. Go get him Matt.

Everything I have heard leads me to believe Haddad is leaning the Buckeyes' way. Don't know if he is the next boom, as there are two others I would certainly be watching. One has already given the staff a verbal and we should see his commitment soon

When you think of Haddad, think about a player from a proud high school program in Cleveland (Ohio) St. Ignatius who was committed to Wisconsin and then backed off that pledge to pick Ohio State.
He’s smart, has great instincts, diagnoses the play and then comes up to make the tackle, the interception or the pass deflection. He’s a fearless hitter and while he might not have elite speed, Haddad is always around the ball and making the right plays.

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.

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.

Cody Haddad must add to his slender 5-foot-11, 175-pound frame before he can showcase his versatility and athleticism as a do-it-all safety in Ohio State's defensive backfield.
