Finally, he may only be a freshman in high school at the moment, but arguably one of the most talented prospects on campus Saturday will be 2028 quarterback Neimann Lawrence. Lawrence was the second player OSU offered in the 2028 class, and the Buckeyes offered him in the summer before he even played a down of high school football. He threw in front of Chip Kelly and Ryan Day during a recruiting camp in June and impressed both coaches with his instincts and arm talent.
It’s early in his recruitment, but Lawrence, who could be one of the best signal callers in his class, is already high on the Buckeyes.
“I like the quarterbacks that they’ve developed,” Lawrence said of OSU. “And they’ve really got some good things going on there. I can see myself there in the future, but my recruiting process is just starting. I have a long way to go.”
A list of prospects who are expected on campus this weekend can be found below. Commits are in bold.

Standout 2028 Quarterback Neimann Lawrence Says Ohio State is “Probably At The Top” of His Recruitment, Intrigued by OSU's Offensive Scheme

Neimann Lawrence has already showcased he’s a special talent in the 2028 recruiting class.
The Florida quarterback put on a show for Chip Kelly and Ryan Day in June at a recruiting camp and became the second player to receive an offer from the Buckeyes in the 2028 cycle before he even started his freshman year of high school. He's already earned eight Division I offers, also including Arkansas, Florida State, Miami, Nebraska, TCU, UCF and West Virginia.
Lawrence was back on Ohio State’s campus last weekend, taking in his first gameday experience in Columbus for the Western Michigan game.
“I felt like the visit was great,” Lawrence told Eleven Warriors. “My takeaways were that Ohio State really cares about their players. Not only on the field, but off the field. They care about their personal development. They care about how they’re doing in class and helping them to be a better person overall.
“The atmosphere was great, I saw the fans tailgating at like 10 in the morning and the game started at 7:30 at night. I thought that was really cool. It was also nice to be a part of the Skull Session as well before the game.”
Lawrence caught up with Kelly before the game and enjoyed his conversation with OSU’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
“Our conversation wasn’t really about football, it was about how I was doing in school, what I’m learning about, what I want to major in and me developing as a person,” Lawrence said.
Lawrence picked a perfect game to attend to see how effective Ohio State’s offense can be. Kelly showcased some of his creativity with play design early and Will Howard took advantage, completing his first 10 consecutive passes in the Buckeyes’ eventual 56-0 win.
“I think their quarterback play is nice,” Lawrence said. “I like the way they take advantage of the early drives when they take advantage of the RPOs in the beginning of the drive. I like how they give their quarterback the ability to make reads and get the ball to his playmakers downfield and also tucking it down and letting him do all the work as well.”

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
He willingly gave up a head coaching position at UCLA to be the OC at Ohio State. Kelly and Day are good friends, his net worth is reportedly $25M, and he's making > $2M per year at Ohio State doing what he likes to do, i.e. run the offense with no "head coaching" worries. I'll say he'll be at Ohio State as long as Day is the head coach. It's the up and coming assistants like Hartline, Walton, Laurinaitis, and Guerrieri, etc. that we have to worry about keeping.

I never underestimate the power of the ego. Hopefully he stays, but wouldn't be surprised if he was just escaping a horrible situation for a few years.
