- Ohio 2026 defensive back Jakob Weatherspoon: “My visit to Ohio State was a great experience overall. Although I didn't get much one-on-one time with the coaches, I was able to speak briefly with a few members of the staff. They seem like excellent coaches and people. Ohio State has top-notch facilities and a winning tradition that's hard to match. I could definitely see myself being part of the Buckeye program. While I still need to look at all my options, OSU made a strong impression that will stay with me throughout my recruitment.”

Four-star 2026 Ohio Cornerback Jakob Weatherspoon Enjoys Another Trip to Columbus, Says Ohio State is Contact with Him More Than Any Other Team
Four-star 2026 Ohio CB Jakob Weatherspoon enjoyed his trip to Columbus on Thursday and says Ohio State is in contact with him more than any other program.
Four-star 2026 Ohio Cornerback Jakob Weatherspoon Enjoys Another Trip to Columbus, Says Ohio State is Contact with Him More Than Any Other Team
Ohio State may not have hosted a large, all-encompassing recruiting event this week, but that didn’t stop a few key in-state cornerback prospects in the 2026 class from making a trip to Columbus on Thursday.
Five-star prospect Elbert Hill and four-star defensive back Jakob Weatherspoon both made the trek to OSU and watched the Buckeyes participate in summer workouts, then had meetings with a few Ohio State coaches.
In the case of Weatherspoon, he came to campus with his father and brother for what he estimated was either his fifth or sixth time on Ohio State’s campus. He met with defensive assistant Gerren DuHart when he arrived, then watched the offense work out and sat in on a defensive backs meeting. Eventually, Weatherspoon met with Tim Walton in his office for about two hours, then met with Ryan Day briefly as Ohio State’s head coach wanted to check in with the Avon product.
Walton and Weatherspoon spoke briefly again before he departed, and the conversation with Walton throughout the day was centered around the 5-foot-11, 172-pound product getting to know Ohio State’s secondary coach in greater detail.
“A whole lot of it is what he just does for people and how he puts others before himself,” Weatherspoon told Eleven Warriors of his conversation with Walton. “It was about him telling us what he actually does instead of what people think, and he was showing us his history and how he’s been connected with Ohio State since 1989, so he knows the school well. He showed us some video calls with former players, a few former players sent some over, so we watched those and got some good chatting in.”
Weatherspoon said he hears from either Walton or DuHart nearly every day and that Ohio State sits “very high” in his recruitment at the moment.
“I’d say they’re in contact with me the most out of any other school,” Weatherspoon said. “I feel really good about the coaches and think we have some strong bonds.”
