2022 five-star DE Enai White | Brian Dohn/247Sports
The Buckeyes’ recruiting efforts are paying off, making the cut for some of the nation’s top talents in both basketball and football.
The Ohio State football team had a very productive weekend. The Buckeyes won on the field Saturday night versus Rutgers, moving to 3-0 on the year. Additionally, the team won off the field, making the short list for multiple of the nation’s top recruits.
The streak continued Monday, as another of the nation’s highly regarded prospects listed Ohio State among his top schools. 2022 five-star defensive end Enai White (Philadelphia, PA/Imhotep Institute) included the Buckeyes in his top 13 schools.

Alongside Ohio State, White included Clemson, LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, USC, Ole Miss, Penn State, Miami, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida and Oregon in his list of schools moving forward.
While White was able to whittle his list of suitors to 13 schools, there are no further insights into his recruitment at this time. He will likely wait to visit some of the above mentioned schools before cutting things down further.
Ohio State’s 2022 class is already off to a historic start. The class currently sits atop the 247Sports Class Rankings with seven verbal commitments. However, the Buckeyes do not yet hold a commitment from a defensive linemen.
White is the No. 2 weakside DE in the 247Sports Composite Rankings, and is the No. 25 overall prospect in the class.
Basketball Buckeyes make the cut for four-star SG
Ohio State isn’t just winning over recruits on the gridiron. The Buckeyes also made the cut for one of the nation’s top prospects on the hardwood.
2022 four-star shooting guard Roddy Gayle Jr. (Youngstown, NY/Lewiston Port Senior) announced his top six schools Monday and included the Buckeyes.

Alongside Ohio State, Gayle Jr. also included UConn, Pitt, Marquette, Syracuse and Georgetown in his list of top schools. Not only did Gayle Jr. announce his final schools, he also announced his planned commitment date of Nov. 13.
Upon first glance, Ohio State would seem like the school with the hardest route to a commitment. The five other schools in contention are all basketball powerhouses with prolific histories. However, Holtmann has proven to be one of the nation’s top recruiters, and the hard work may soon payoff as the Buckeyes are the runaway favorite in this race.
While the 247Sports Crystal Balls are nowhere near an exact science, they are able to provide a strong glimpse into what the recruit is thinking based off of conversations with the experts. With this, Ohio State holds 100 percent of the predictions (five in total) with a confidence score of 7/10.
This will definitely be one to follow for Buckeye Nation, as Gayle Jr. could become the second member of Ohio State’s 2022 basketball class, joining three-star SG Bowen Hardman. Gayle Jr. is the No. 7 SG in the cycle, and the No. 76 player in the country overall.
