One of Ohio State’s top safety targets in the 2026 class enjoyed his first gameday visit of the season to Columbus on Oct. 7, and he won’t wait long to take his next trip either.

Four-star Maryland safety Jireh Edwards made his third unofficial visit to Ohio State earlier this month for the Maryland game, after already visiting campus previously in July and April. He’s planning on being in attendance this weekend for the Penn State game as well.
“The visit was a great experience, I loved everything about it,” Edwards told Eleven Warriors of the Maryland trip. “It was a great atmosphere. I would say it’s the best visit I’ve been on since I started going on visits. The atmosphere was crazy and everything a player would want to play in.”
While on his visit, Edwards saw Josh Proctor and Lathan Ransom each record an interception, with Proctor returning his for a touchdown. He came away impressed with Jim Knowles’ three-safety scheme.
“The safeties played great,” Proctor said. “They knew what they were doing. Coach Perry Eliano is teaching them right and telling them everything they need to know.”
Eliano and Ryan Day both spoke with the St. Frances Academy senior on his trip.
“They told me I’m a good fit for the team,” Edwards said. “They also told me to keep grinding, keep my head down and stay the course.”
Edwards said he talks to Eliano as often as he can, though communication between the two is somewhat restricted because coaches are not allowed to directly contact recruits until the fall of their junior year. As far as Ohio State goes, Edwards said Ohio State is “somewhere at the top” of his recruitment.
A week after Edwards’ visit, the Buckeyes landed a commitment from one of his high school teammates, four-star 2025 cornerback Blake Woodby. It was the first commit OSU has ever landed from Maryland powerhouse St. Frances Academy, but the Buckeyes are hoping it won’t be the last. Edwards said he would enjoy the idea of teaming up with Woodby at the next level.

The Hurry-Up: Four-star 2026 Safety Jireh Edwards Plans to Visit Ohio State for Two Games This Season and Says the Buckeyes Are "Up There" in His Recruitment​

The No. 5 safety in the 2026 class has already set two gameday visits to Ohio State for this season.
Four-star Maryland prospect Jireh Edwards told Eleven Warriors following a camp workout in June that he’ll be on campus for the Buckeyes’ games against Purdue and Michigan in November and looks forward to seeing OSU in action.
Edwards is considered the No. 48 prospect and No. 5 safety in the 2026 class and last visited Columbus in June for the chance to work out with Tim Walton and Matt Guerrieri.
“I wanted to bond with the coaches and learn different ways I can be a way better ball player,” Edwards told Eleven Warriors about why he wanted to camp with OSU despite already having an offer.

The 6-foot-1, 194-pound prospect has visited campus at least four times already and has started a strong bond with Guerrieri.
“I make sure I call coach Matt Guerrieri almost every day,” Edwards said in June. “We call and it’s always a good conversation. I’m checking up on him, he’s checking up on me.”
With high-caliber prospects like Faheem Delane, Devin Sanchez and Na’eem Offord already committed to OSU for the 2025 class, Edwards has taken notice of the high-caliber players the Buckeyes are recruiting and said he would embrace being part of a talented defense back corps.
“It means a lot,” Edwards said. “Learning from the older guys and seeing how they’d translate so quickly from high school to college would be nice to learn from them.”
Edwards said OSU is “definitely up there” in his recruitment and has heavy interest in potentially suiting up for the Buckeyes someday.
“The brand,” Edwards said about OSU’s most appealing factor. “What I can get out of the school, the things I can learn at the school and stuff like that.”
