The Hurry-Up: Ohio State Offers 2025 Defensive Linemen Brandon Brown and Zahir Mathis, '25 DE London Merritt Puts the Buckeyes in His Top 12

The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Mathis is one of the premier defensive ends in the 2025 class, ranking as the No. 38 overall player and the sixth-best edge rusher per 247Sports’ composite rankings.

Mathis boasts 24 Division I offers, including Alabama, Boston College, Cincinnati, Colorado, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, USC and West Virginia.

Mathis is the fifth edge rusher OSU has offered in 2025, joining London Merritt, Nasir Wyatt, Javion Hilson and Justin Hill. He also plays tight end for Imhotep Institute (Philadelphia, PA), but the Buckeyes are more interested in his talent as a pass rusher.

Well I don't like the thing the other 4 top schools have in common...as a hint, we've lo$t a lot of recruiting battles recently to that commonality. Hopefully we end that trend here.

Two top edge targets in the 2025 class, London Merritt and Zamir Mathis, will be there. Along with a top LB target in Tarvos Alford.

No joke, I honestly didn't think we had a legit shot here. Fingers crossed this goes down.
