Ohio State continues to work on flipping 2025 five-star WR Dakorien Moore.
With most of the sports world focused on the NFL Draft and the NBA playoffs, things have been quieter than usual on the college football recruiting front. That being said, Ohio State never has a quiet day when it comes to recruiting and the Buckeyes continued to make the recruiting headlines Monday.
Ohio State played host to 2025 LSU wide receiver commit Dakorien Moore (Duncanville, Texas, Duncanville) this past weekend and as more reports regarding the visit surface, the better the visit seems to have gone. Moore brought his mom with him for the visit which saw him arrive on Friday and leave Sunday. Moore has expressed interest in the Buckeyes since the start of his recruitment, despite committing to LSU, and having his mom able to make the visit with him meant even more.
Moore was originally scheduled to visit Ohio State for the spring game but was unable to attend due to a track meet. To the Buckeyes’s pleasure, he worked to reschedule the visit for this past weekend, where he was the lone recruit on campus.
Steve Wiltfong of On3 spoke Monday on Moore’s visit and confirmed that both having his mom with him and being the sole recruit on campus made the visit much more personal for Moore and that the Buckeyes are on the shortlist for Moore’s commitment.
Moore has been busy with his recruitment, despite committing to LSU in August of last year. Ohio State is not the only school working to flip him either, as Texas and Oregon are both actively recruiting him as well. He even took a recent visit to Texas before his Ohio State visit. The summer will likely be no different for Moore but a final pledge could come before his senior season of play.
Moore is the No. 1 WR recruit in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and he is the No. 3 overall prospect. He is also the No. 1 recruit from the talent-rich state of Texas.
While Ohio State had the No. 1 recruit from Texas on campus this past weekend, the Buckeyes also had their eyes elsewhere in Texas. Ohio State offered a pair of offensive linemen teammates over the weekend with one in the 2025 class and the other in next year’s class. The two linemen to receive Ohio State offers are below:
Class: 2026
Hometown: Fort Worth, Texas / North Crowley
Size: 6-foot-3.5 / 305 lbs.
247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 8 OT and the No. 78 overall prospect. No. 9 recruit out of Texas
Class: 2025
Hometown: Fort Worth, Texas / North Crowley
Size: 6-foot-4 / 295 lbs.
247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 26 IOL and the No. 422 overall prospect. No. 67 recruit out of Texas.
Ohio State 2025 four-star edge target Justin Hill (Cincinnati, Ohio / Winton Woods) participated in the Under Armor Ohio Regional camp on Sunday. Hill had a more-than-impressive showing and was named the Alpha Dog by 247Sports.
The indicator is meant for not only the top performer of the event but also the recruit must show that alpha dog mentality. He also knocked over an offensive lineman during the event in a clip that has already heavily circulated the internet. Hill is the No. 13 edge prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 126 overall prospect. He is also the No. 6 recruit out of Ohio.
Ohio State men’s basketball target and 2025 five-star shooting guard Darryn Peterson (Huntington, West Virginia / Huntington) announced that his recruitment is now completely open again following the coaching carousel this college basketball season.
Peterson had originally included Ohio State in his top alongside Arkansas, Baylor, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, and North Carolina. Peterson is the No. 1 SG in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 3 overall prospect.
