2027 NC DL Rashad Streets (Verbal Offer)

Ohio State appears to have one shot to make up ground in key recruiting battle for elite prospect against a recent CFP foe​

Sometimes in the world of recruiting, the company you’re competing against can say a lot about the quality of the prospect. While most top programs offer the majority of four and five-star prospects, there’s a level of investment in terms of time and visits that reveals whether there’s mutual interest. The Ohio State Buckeyes don’t overwhelm individual prospects with NIL money, but rather sell their NFL pipeline, individual coaching, and the opportunity to play on a massive stage.

They’re hoping that can sway four-star pass-rusher Rashad Streets. The elite 2027 prospect is involved with some heavy hitters near his hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina, though. It’s encouraging for Ohio State that Clemson, South Carolina, Tennessee, Penn State, and Oregon are involved.

Each of those programs are known for identifying, chasing, and developing NFL-caliber superstars at the position. And this week, a top contender emerged for the 6-foot-3, 230-pounder. Unfortunately for Ryan Day, it’s not the Buckeyes just yet.

Instead, Streets is favoring Tennessee, whom the Buckeyes destroyed 42-17 in the College Football Playoff. On3 has projected him to have a meager 20% likelihood int he race, but their reporting is more concrete. One thing is for sure: Ohio State must crush Streets’ visit to Columbus.

The only certainties in this world are that the sun rises in the east, death and taxes, and that tOSU will provide magnificent official visits to recruits. The WOW factor is always high, and a recruit always reports that tOSU has set the bar at a high level. Maybe that's a timing effect, and after a day or two the recruit's feet are back on the ground, but seems to always work out that way. Heck, just seeing the quality of athlete getting hands-on teaching from a heckuva stable of coachs should be plenty, but the facilities, tradition, etc is second to none.
