The Buckeyes also sent out a new offer over the weekend.
It’s been a little bit since Ohio State has played a game in front of the home crowd. The Buckeyes’ last contest was a week ago in Eugene, Oregon, suffering their first loss of the season to the Ducks, followed by an off week. Ryan Day’s group will return to Ohio Stadium on Saturday when they host the Nebraska Cornhuskers, which also means they'll get to host some big time recruits as well.
Taking full advantage of one of four remaining home games during the regular season, Ohio State will welcome five-star offensive tackle Maxwell Hiller to campus this upcoming weekend.
Hiller, a member of the 2027 class, ranks as the No. 4 offensive tackle and the No. 29 player overall in the cycle. Despite being just a high school sophomore, the 6-foot-5 lineman out of Pennsylvania has already amassed nine scholarship offers from some premier programs, including the likes of Penn State, Michigan, Oklahoma and Ohio State.
The Buckeyes are one of three Big Ten programs to get an early visit from Hiller, with the tackle having visited Maryland earlier this season and having plans to check out Penn State on Nov. 9. Hiller expressed his excitement for his trip to Columbus when he spoke with Rivals last month.
“I’m super pumped to be there,” Hiller told Rivals of Ohio State. “It’s a huge blessing and it’s a championship organization.”
The 2023 MaxPreps Freshman All-American is the only offensive lineman in the 2027 class to receive an Ohio State offer to this point. Justin Frye has come under plenty of fire for his lack of recruiting success during his time with the Buckeyes, so he is certainly hoping establishing an early relationship here will pay dividends down the line for the program.
