SCOTTY MIDDLETON, TAISON CHATMAN, DEVIN ROYAL AND AUSTIN PARKS SIGN NATIONAL LETTERS OF INTENT WITH OHIO STATE
Chris Holtmann has inked a top-10 nationally-ranked recruiting class for the second straight year.
All four of Ohio State’s 2023 pledges, including Scotty Middleton, Taison Chatman, Devin Royal and Austin Parks, made their commitments official Wednesday by signing their National Letters of Intent. While the Buckeyes’ 2022 class ranked No. 6 in the country on signing day, the ‘23 haul is even more elite, slotting in at
No. 5 in the nation per the 247Sports composite.
Only Duke, Kentucky, Michigan State and UConn have higher-ranked classes, which makes Ohio State’s 2023 group the second-best haul in the Big Ten. The No. 5 ranking is Holtmann’s highest since taking over as Ohio State head coach in 2017.
The Buckeyes signed three four-star, top-50 overall prospects and one three-star recruit. The most highly touted of the bunch is 6-foot-6, 180-pound wing Scotty Middleton, who ranks
38th in the country, seventh at his position and No. 3 in the state of Kansas, where Middleton plays high school basketball at Sunrise Christian. The Miami native
committed to the Buckeyes on Aug. 7 and is considered one of the top defenders in the country. Middleton could play multiple positions at Ohio State, and although he’s categorized as a small forward on 247Sports, the Buckeyes may use him as a combo guard at the college level.
