Fong on Timmons: “OSU obviously has a lot going for it in this recruitment right now. He’s having good dialogue with the Buckeyes staff about important things on and off the field. Trending well.”
Also, no public confirmation yet, but Danny Odem is also rumored to be taking a visit to us for the PSU game. I’m curious if we try and take 3 CBs this cycle. Roster numbers say it’s a need, but also Jordan Thomas is very physical and a great tackler and seems like he’d be a great NB.

Rivals scouting breakdown on Timmons when they bumped him up to #28 overall last month, which would be a 5* at the end of the year. Last sentence is key, we will pay up for guys who we think can play immediately:

“Lawrence Timmons is one of the most complete defensive backs in this cycle and is someone we would consider a three-dimensional defender. He can play in the box, he can man cover, and he can play in zone. He truly excels in all of these areas and has such a strong blend of physicality and finesse. He can be fluid in coverage and stay sticky when the ball is in the air. He has the violence at the point of attack and the tenacity to bring down ball carriers. But most importantly, he has fantastic instincts and that allows him to see things happen before anyone else on the field. Timmons has a case for one of the most college-ready skillsets of any back half defender in this class.”

Brown won’t be the only flip target on campus this weekend. Ohio State will also host one of the top 20 cornerbacks in the 2026 class, Jay Timmons. The No. 164 overall prospect in the class, Timmons has been committed to Florida State since June and is the son of former Seminole star Lawrence Timmons, but he’s expressed interest in Ohio State since the Buckeyes offered him in September.

Florida State’s four-game losing streak only helps the Buckeyes’ chances of convincing Timmons this weekend that he should take his talent to Columbus. Ohio State is looking for at least one more cornerback, if not two, to join Jordan Thomas in the 2026 class, so Timmons will be one of the Buckeyes’ top recruiting priorities this weekend.

Ohio State in a great position to flip Jay Timmons and Legend Bey…
Timmons:

“The environment is fire,” Rivals No. 2 cornerback and Florida State commit Jay Timmons said. The Buckeyes are giving the Seminoles legacy recruit a lot to think about and this environment is one he can see himself in. “People don’t stop saying O-H-I-O. The people here are super loyal.”
Their defense is what excites me and the energy they bring it’s something different

Wiltfong with a few nuggets this morning on various guys across the country. He usually chooses his wording carefully, so I took note of them:

Jay Timmons: “A source on Sunday thought OSU grabbed the momentum.”

Jay Timmons told Wiltfong he’s going to sit down with his family and discuss Ohio State and Florida State. Says a decision will come soon.
