2025 OH QB Tavien St. Clair has signed his LOI!!!



According to the current 24/7 rankings St. Clair is the only 5 star gay so far.

#4 ★★★★★ Tavien St. Clair (Ohio State)
#5 ★★★★ Husan Longstreet (aTm)
#6 ★★★★ Deuce Knight (Notre Dame)
#9 ★★★★ Keelon Russell (SMU)
#10 ★★★★ K J Lacey (Texas)
#15 ★★★★ Kevin Sperry (Oklahoma)
#27 ★★★★ Tramell Jones (Free Shoes)

In case you wondered:

#1 ★★★★★ Bryce Underwood (LSU)
#2 ★★★★★ Julian Lewis ((USC)
#3 ★★★★★ George MacIntyre (Tennessee)
#7 ★★★★ Matt Zollers (Missouri)
#8 ★★★★ Akili Smith Jr. (Oregon) Now that's a familiar name that the Bengals (probably) wish they had never heard of.....:lol:


I know it’s a typo, but I have so many jokes that I can’t say. Especially in the recruiting forum.

Per 11w poster:

QB Tavien St. Clair is challenging Bryce Underwood for the #1 player in the 2025 class, per 247's Andrew Ivins.

Ivins saw St. Clair in person at the Elite11 regional in Columbus and came away thoroughly impressed.

St. Clair spent his entire spring break at Ohio State sitting in on QB room meetings, preparing to compete for the starting job in 2025.

OHIO STATE​


There is a strong argument that no program should be happier with how the camp went than Ohio State. Four-star quarterback commit
Tavien St. Clair
was the clear star of the camp. He’s reshaped his body over the last couple years and it shows.

St. Clair has good mechanics and throws the ball with ease. One Elite 11 coach remarked that the ball just sounded different coming out of his hands. St. Clair is a special prospect and five-star buzz is building.

3. Tavien St. Clair is firmly in the five-star discussion after his performance at the Elite 11 Columbus event.​


Friedman: FACT. There's a reason
Tavien St. Clair
was ranked so highly prior to the offseason camp season and now that we have seen him and verified what we've seen on tape, St. Clair is very much in the five-star conversation heading into the post spring rankings update. The 6-foot-4, 228-pound Ohio State quarterback commit has now shown off the outstanding arm strength, mechanics, accuracy and everything that we believe makes his ceiling so high as a prospect.

Watching him continue to progress throughout this offseason and into the fall will be key as we determine whether or not St. Clair should be elevated to five-star status. He certainly brings a solid foundation to the field but what can make him even more special is the athleticism he has as a prospect. On film he's able to evade pressure and pick up yards with his feet as well as throwing the ball around the field for big plays.
Smith: FACT. St. Clair had the most buzz around him coming into the event and that noise only grew stronger after seeing him in person. The Ohio State commit looks great walking around with a terrific frame. It was notable to me that
Air Noland
and
Devin Brown
were both in attendance yet St. Clair looked the most college ready of the bunch.

He throws a great football with accuracy and plenty of arm strength without forcing it or overthrowing. His ability to throw on the run is a very underrated aspect of his game. He’s a better athlete than you realize. There is so much to like about St. Clair. If he continues on this track, it might get hard to deny that fifth star.

This is why allowing OH kids to play 7v7 was so big. They can get some national exposure and combat the notion that OH kids can’t keep up with their southern counterparts

I was thinking about this in regards to Ohio kids leaving the state more often now. I think OSU will still have their pick of the litter, especially now that their NIL has improved. But other B1G schools who traditionally got our leftovers may not enjoy that benefit much longer. But the biggest loser may be ttun. They traditionally are able to poach an elite Ohio kid once every blue moon (think Jordan Marshall). But with the national exposure they’ll now get, those elite Ohio prospects who traditionally went to ttun may now go south and out west more often.

Depending on position, I think scUM will still get OH kids that they actively pursue. They won’t be able to rely on the school name alone as much. UK has been and continues to benefit from OH recruits who OSU has no interest. I’ve said it for years, but those same guys Cincinnati should pursue regularly and they would constantly be a top 25 caliber team, but I digress…
TSC can go in the heart of the south and play with nationally ranked players and show that he’s every bit as talented as his southern and western fellow recruits. McNutt is doing the same, and I can’t wait for it to be a steady occurrence so that narrative is put to bed.
