The Hurry-Up: Four-star 2027 Cornerback Josiah Molden Says Ohio State Lived Up to His Expectations and OSU Commits Chris Henry Jr. and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt Give Back
Four-star 2027 CB Josiah Molden says Ohio State lived up to his expectations and OSU commits Chris Henry Jr. and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt give back to their community.
Four-star 2027 Cornerback Josiah Molden Says Ohio State Lived Up to His Expectations
A cornerback who delivered one of the best performances of a defensive back at an Ohio State recruiting camp came to Columbus on a mission.Four-star Oregon prospect Josiah Molden wanted to earn an offer from Ohio State. Following an impressive workout where he thrived in individual drills and one-on-one competition, Molden landed the offer he so desperately coveted.
“It would mean a lot. It’s a top (school) at the top of my list right now,” Molden said a few moments before he picked up an offer at the camp. “It would mean a lot if I were offered. Ohio State lived up to expectations.”
Molden camped at OSU on June 12 and it was the 6-foot, 175-pound prospect’s first-ever visit to Ohio. He took instruction from both co-defensive coordinator Tim Walton and safeties coach Matt Guerrieri.
“It was amazing,” Molden said. “They coached me hard, which is one of the big things I want in a school. They were honest and they got me right. I love both of them …
“I don’t strictly want to say I’m just a corner, I can play every position. Nickel, safety, I can do it all. My best attribute as a DB is probably being patient with my feet, I feel like I’m really good at staying square with my feet and not shooting too quickly, because it’s feet first, then hands.”
Other schools Molden says have stood out throughout his recruiting process include Notre Dame, USC, Oregon, Arizona and Arizona State.
Football runs in Molden’s family, as his father, Alex, is an Oregon legacy and a former first-round pick in the 1996 NFL draft. His brother, Elijah, played his college ball at Washington and has played safety for the Tennessee Titans since 2021.
Molden insists his West Coast roots won’t prevent him from considering schools out east, including Ohio State. The Buckeyes hope to host him on a gameday visit this season.
Per 247Sports’ composite rankings, Molden is considered the No. 142 prospect and No. 16 cornerback in the 2027 class.
