The Buckeyes extend one of their latest offers to Quinton Cypher.
One more day and Ohio State football is back. Regardless of who the Buckeyes are playing, it’s been a long wait to see this 2024 squad take the field, and that wait is finally over. Akron poses little threat to the Buckeyes from a competitive standpoint, and while it will still be a few weeks before Ohio State is really tested, it’s a true first-look at how talented this team really is.
There must be some sort of pipeline building with the Tar Heel State, because Ohio State is spending plenty of time in North Carolina offering several players in various recruiting classes. Fortunate enough to have some success there, the coaching staff is continuing to evaluate the state’s talent pool, and this week saw the latest North Carolina native receive an Ohio State offer.
A 6-foot-2, 215 pound linebacker in the 2027 class, Quinton Cypher is the latest to hear from the Buckeyes and position coach James Laurinaitis. An unranked player right now per his 247Sports profile, early offers from Georgia, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Wisconsin, and now Ohio State are some of the notable schools to take notice before a real domino effect occurs that could see several more in the near future.
In just his short tenure at the helm of the position, Laurinaitis has proven to be in many ways very similar to Hartline in recruiting. A coach that has played at the highest level and knows his craft, he also has the development aspect already working in his favor. Moving forward, his early success in recruiting will have to be noticed by Cypher, who will be hearing from the Buckeyes more often now that his offer has been extended.
Just a high school sophomore with this year and two more full seasons after to be played, recruiting is just now starting to really take off. Having the Buckeyes in the mix now allows them to take their time in building the relationship. The next steps will be getting him on campus to see all that the program has to offer, but this won’t be the last time his name is mentioned.
Not wasting any time, this weekend will already be an opportunity for Ohio State to show off the program to the recruits on hand for unofficial visits. Hitting the ground running with game day visits, it’s a positive sign to see the Buckeyes bringing in top talent even with a lopsided contest on the schedule this first week.
Set to be in town for the opening game, 2027 running back prospect Elijah Kimble is making the trek from New York to see the Buckeyes and all they have to offer. The 5-foot-10, 180 pound athlete is another youngster that is not yet ranked on his 247Sports profile, but does have plenty of early attention on his radar as he currently holds offers from Michigan, Oregon, Penn State, and a host of others.
Not offered by Ohio State yet, this unofficial visit could change that as Carlos Locklyn will have time to entertain Kimble while in Columbus. Maybe the most enticing aspect of this visit will be seeing the two-headed monster in person of Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson in Ohio State’s backfield.
Taking the time to come and see the Buckeyes, clearly there is interest here and it wouldn’t be a shock to see the staff extend the offer either shortly after the game or in the near future once he returns home.
