BIGGEST REMAINING NEEDS
Larry Johnson and Greg Studrawa still have a lot of work to do. Out of the 12 current commitments, only one of those plays in the trenches. And while Tegra Tshabola may be a fine guard for the Buckeyes, he's only one of what should ultimately be a five or six-man class along the offensive line. The biggest concern continues to be at tackle. After whiffing on Goodwin, there are still a few options out there, but those athletic tackles just aren't easy to come by.

Huber Heights (Wayne) tackle Aamil Wagner has been climbing up our board of late. He is now without question one of the most important remaining targets, and Studrawa really needs to beat out Notre Dame for the athletic 6-foot-6, 260-pound tackle. Other names to know include IMG Academy's Tyler Booker, Virginia's Zach Rice and Colorado's George Fitzpatrick. The Buckeyes need to get Wagner on board and then add at least one more at tackle. Rice appears to be a long shot and Booker will be a tough pull from the SEC. Fitzpatrick is worth watching even though his recruitment has been extremely quiet.

The defensive line is a bit of a different story as Larry Johnson has Ohio State in a fine spot for several top targets. Johnson handles things a bit differently and getting guys on campus to go over techniques is such an important part of the process for him. Texas edge rusher Omari Abor is on campus this weekend and he's the No. 1 priority alongside Indiana's Caden Curry. The Buckeyes also have plenty of options at tackle including Georgia's Christen Miller, Oklahoma's Chris McClellan, and California's Hero Kanu.

Safety is the other spot to really watch. The Buckeyes are wasting little time hosting their top two targets as both Xavier Nwankpa and Zion Branch are in town this weekend for official visits. Landing either one of the four-star targets would be a home run. Grabbing both would be a grand slam for Kerry Coombs.

With the addition of four-star wide receiver Kaleb Brown, Ohio State's composite recruiting score climbed to 249.88, compared to Georgia's 242.63 score it had to start the day.

The Buckeyes technically retook the lead earlier in the day when five-star defensive end Bear Alexander decommitted from the Bulldogs, bringing their score back to a projected 225.83, but Brown's commitment secured Ohio State's spot at the top.

Ohio State now has 13 commitments in the 2022 class, including four five-star prospects and six top-100 players.

That class would have an overall score of around 321.50, with a per recruit rating of 94.85, which obviously would be a top-3 class, possibly #1.
