Top Cornerback Target Monsanna Torbert Jr. “Very Excited” for Ohio State Official Visit This Weekend
Monsanna Torbert Jr.’s trip to Columbus for his official visit to Ohio State started a day early.
Torbert’s official visit to Ohio State will formally begin Friday, but the four-star cornerback from Cincinnati was already on campus Thursday for Ohio State’s third high school football camp of the week. While Torbert didn’t work out in the camp himself, he was there to watch his younger brother Sean Torbert, a defensive back in the 2028 recruiting class who also holds an offer from the Buckeyes.
As he watched the camp alongside Ohio State’s current cornerbacks, including fellow Cincinnatians Jermaine Mathews Jr. and Cam Calhoun, Torbert got an up-close look at how Ohio State secondary coach Tim Walton coaches his players. And he liked what he saw.
“It’s been great just watching these guys fly around, just watching how Coach Walt coaches, how he coaches DBs, just watching him get after it,” Torbert said.
Over the next three days, Torbert will get a closer look at every aspect of Ohio State as he makes his official visit – a visit that could play a crucial role in his recruitment and the Buckeyes’ efforts to build their 2027 cornerback class.
“I'm very excited for this official visit, to just really see what all the university has to offer,” Torbert said. “I’ve been up here a couple times, but I really didn't get to see the school and all that the times that I did come here. Now I can see the academic part, just the inside of Ohio State, and spend time with Coach Ryan Day.”
Torbert, who’s ranked as the No. 102 overall prospect in the 2027 class, stands as one of Ohio State’s top cornerback targets in the 2027 class entering this weekend’s official visit. He’s one of four cornerbacks who will make official visits to Ohio State this month along with Jaden Carey, who visited the Buckeyes last weekend; fellow in-state cornerback Deontay Malone, who will also visit this weekend; and John Meredith III, the No. 1 cornerback in the class, who’s scheduled to visit next weekend.
Ohio State is viewed as the frontrunner to land Torbert entering his official visit. While this weekend will give him the chance to get a closer look at the program, he already feels comfortable at Ohio State from his previous visits.
