Welcome to your tri-weekly look at all things Ohio State recruiting. Let’s get started!
5-Star Sets Ohio State Official:
Bellaire, Texas’s Marvin Wilson came away thoroughly impressed by the Buckeyes when he was visiting Oklahoma back on September 17th. Wilson will now make an official visit to Columbus when the Buckeyes host Michigan on November 26th. There will be a ton of visitors that day, and the state of Texas will be well represented with Wilson, Baron Browning and Jeffrey Okudah all in attendance. The Buckeyes remain in good standing with Browning and Okudah, but landing Wilson would be a huge get, although highly unlikely. Wilson spoke with Landof10 about his visit.
“I’ll be coming up with my mom and brother, most likely,” Wilson said. “I’m just trying to see what all the hype is about.”
Wilson will visit Florida State next when they host Clemson on October 29th.
Georgia Buckeyes:
The Buckeyes are invading the state of Georgia again and this time they have offered 2019 wide receiver prospect Jadon Haselwood. Haselwood is a 4-start prospect and has double digit offers. He is ranked as the #2 wide receiver in the country and the 10th best player out of Georgia. He spoke with 11W about the offer and what it meant.
“It means a lot,” Haselwood said “They are definitely in my Top 5.”
Haselwood was on campus when the Buckeyes hosted Rutgers and had another Georgia star, Emory Jones talking Ohio State up during his visit. Jones has become a vocal leader for the class of 2018, and will do everything he can to bring top level talent to Ohio State with him.
Buckeye Target to visit Wolverines:
The Buckeyes remain in the drivers seat with 4-star defensive tackle Jay Tufele out of Utah, but he will travel north to visit Michigan on October 22nd as they take on Illinois. Tufele’s recently announced his final seven schools as Ohio State, Utah, BYU, USC, Michigan, Washington and UCLA. The Buckeyes are expected to get an official visit, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was either when they host Nebraska or Michigan as those will be two of the bigger recruiting weekends this season.
Tufele has not played this season because he suffered ligament damage during The Opening in July. He is likely to play at some point this season, but is being held out as a precaution. He was selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on January 7th, 2017.

Buckeyes Offer Auburn Commit:
The Buckeyes also gave out an offer to Auburn commitment Chandler Wooten, a 3-star outside linebacker out of Kennesaw, Georgia over the weekend. Wooten has been committed to the Tigers since May, but with a possible coaching change at the end of the season looming, his status with Auburn might change.
Wooten has 28 offers to date and is the 31st ranked outside linebacker in the class of 2017.
