Welcome to your tri-weekly look at all things Ohio State recruiting. Let’s get started!
Buckeyes Offer 2018 Pennsylvania Safety:
The Buckeye coaching staff has been out in full recruiting force this week and 4-star safety Isheem Young out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was the recipient of one of these offers. He followed up the Buckeye offer with his 19th offer from LSU a day later. The 5’11” 195lb. Junior now holds 19 offers to date, and his crystal ball predictions read 50/50 between Penn State and Florida State.
He was slated to attend the IMG Academy which is home to a few future Buckeyes, but decided to stay home in Pennsylvania and play his final two seasons at the Imhotep Institute.

Penn State Commit Gets an Offer:
Back in Feburary 5-star defensive end Micah Parsons decided he was done with recruiting and committed to Penn State. A lot of offers have since come in for Parsons, and its possible that he will take visits to other programs before making a “final” decision. Parsons is ranked as the #5 overall prospect in the class of 2018, and is Pennsylvania’s #1 overall prospect.
2018 Oklahoma WR Nabs Buckeye Offer:
The offer train keeps rolling along, and this time it is to C.J. Moore a 4-star wide receiver out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Moore claims 9 offers so far, the biggest from Texas A&M, Georgia and TCU. Moore joins 6 other wide outs with offers from Ohio State, including Jalen Hall, Brian Hightower and Jahan Dotson. The Buckeyes have yet to offer a 2018 receiver from the state of Ohio.
Offer Train Moves West:
The latest offer comes from California, where 4-star linebacker Solomon Tuliaupupu received an offer from the Buckeye coaching staff yesterday.
Tuliaupupu has 16 offers to date, and has a 100% crystal ball projection to USC currently. His offers include Oregon, USC, Michigan, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Notre Dame among others. He is ranked as the #6 outside linebacker recruit in the country, and the 19th overall prospect from talent rich California.
Recovery Mode:
One of the biggest in-state targets for the class of 2018 is running back Jaelen Gill from Westerville, Ohio. Gill was injured in his teams first game of the season when he broke his fibula, which required him to have season ending surgery this week. It appears as if everything went off without a hitch, and now the recovery process begins.
Surgery went perfect!! Woozy right now, but my recovery begins now!!

Gill has 19 offers to date, and all projections have him picking the Buckeyes when he makes his decision. He would be the second back in the class along with Brian Snead, the 4-star back from Florida.
Buckeye Commit on the Shelf for the Season?:
It appears that the ankle injury suffered by JK Dobbins in his teams season opener might be worse than originally thought, and might cause him to miss the entire senior season.
La Grange RB JK Dobbins says there is a possibility that he won't be able to play again this year.

Dobbins added that he's letting his injured ankle heal before he can start rehabbing and know how long he'll be out.

Hopefully for Dobbins, and his La Grange team he can return before the end of the season and provide some help on the offensive side of the ball.
