One of Ohio State’s main linebacker priorities for the 2023 class will be in Columbus this weekend. Troy Bowles, a four-star recruit from Tampa Bay, Florida, told 247Sports this week he would attend Ohio State’s game against Tulsa.

Talent speaks for itself
Right now, Bowles grades out as fourth best linebacker in the class per the 247Sports composite rankings. In addition, he’s also regarded as the 52nd best player in the country and the 12th best player in the talent-rich Florida. A high four-star, Bowles has offers from over 30 programs and clearly has no shortage of options when it comes to the next level. His talent level is certainly an attribute every school is wanting, but when you think of Ohio State’s defense right now, it’s not wrong to think that it’s the linebackers that need the most help, and his ability would help them on the field in defending both the run and pass game.

Not that there’s been miss after miss on the recruiting trail in the past couple of cycles, but having this highly touted of a linebacker in the fold would improve the depth immensely. In the current 2022 cycle, the Buckeyes have Ohio’s top in-state player in the fold in C.J. Hicks, but what makes it even better is that Hicks is currently the nation’s second best linebacker. The chance to put both Hicks and Bowles together in back-to-back classes would be a huge development of the linebacker room and that’s just another reason why Bowles is being so valued.
