DEUCE EDWARDS TO VISIT OSU FOR MICHIGAN STATE GAME​

As part of the Big Ten’s new TV deal, some games in November are now going to be played at night, something unheard of in past years.

Ohio State will get a taste of playing in the colder climate at night this season when it hosts Michigan State at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 11 in Columbus. While there are certainly in-person weather drawbacks to having a late kickoff in an outdoor stadium that late into the year, there are also some recruiting benefits too.

Namely, some prospects will be able to make the game after playing late into the night on Friday instead of it being a noon kickoff. Virginia 2025 cornerback Terrance “Deuce” Edwards is one of those players, as he told Eleven Warriors Wednesday he and his father are likely to attend that game because of the kickoff time.

Edwards camped at Ohio State over the summer and was impressive, but he doesn’t hold an offer as of yet. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back has nearly 20 Division I offers, including from the likes of Clemson, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Penn State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

Question for the BPRT….Are we looking at 2 RBs in 25? If so, are Davis and Jackson the backs at the top of the board?

I don't know if the BRPT will collectively assemble like an episode of Captain Planet or Power Rangers, so I will just throw out my perspective as a member. I think the number will be 2 RB's, subject to change if we have transfers. Davis is an absolute take imo, he is so good you cannot pass on him. Jackson I really want, but there are only two total RB's in the '25 class after the haul in '24....so we would take Jordon Davison over either Ohio guy imo even though it is a one or the other scenario with Davis/Jackson if that fortuitous event happens in landing Davison. On Davison, we have a very real chance of winning that one, though we are going to have an absolute battle for him.

I will say that I am very happy we have two great Ohio RB's and if Davis and Jackson are our RB class in '25, I would love that. But Davison is and should be the top target imo, then we can sort out the other two if we land Davison.

Thanks @RB07OSU, appreciate that information. Always concerned too about losing one of these guys to someone like UM, MSU or PSU, etc.

As far as the BPRT assembling goes, I always look forward to their assessment at the end of the cycle!

No problem, it is a great question...I think the answer is aggressively recruit them all and hopefully things sort themselves out. I hate thinking of either Jackson or Davis ending up at a rival, but unfortunately that happens when you recruit at the level we are. I'll just say that if we get Davison and one of the Ohio RB's burns us one year ala Ryan Brewer at SC, I will not blame the staff for that because Davison is objectively the best RB target in the nation and should be prioritized if there is a real shot.

The BRPT will give a joint review of the class after early signing and might touch it up after that if there is any noise between November - February. I like the collective format we've had the last few years where everyone can contribute separately on their own timeline. But if the BP folks would like a BRPT review of the class and allow comments on each category like we used to do it, we can try to whip it up.

Just my $.02 to go with RB. But OSU will definitely sign 2 RBs in ‘25 and restock the room. Davis and Jackson are not at the top of the board, IMO, Jordan Davison from Mater Dei would be #1. After that, the list gets jumbled, but the 2 OH RBs are there. But 2 other names that are definitely realistic options are Tory Blaylock from TX and Byron Louis from FL. Both are speedsters who are home run threats in the run and passing game. That’s 5 VERY talented RBs, and OSU only needs 2.

It’s been mentioned that OSU could sign 3, with one being an ATH. And I’ve seen Davis and Jackson as the 2 ATH options if that were the case. Both can play defense, and Davis can even play a Hybrid/Curtis Samuel role. But if I had to choose right now, I’d take Davison and Jackson. But I’d honestly take any combination of 2

Winton Woods offensive tackle Raphael Greene confirmed to Eleven Warriors he’ll visit Ohio State on March 23 with several of his high school teammates. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound Greene has visited OSU twice as a recruit but hasn’t been on campus since last spring.

“Ohio State is a really good school and I’ve been up there before, this time when I go I really want to try and talk to as many coaches as I can,” Greene said. “Get them to know as much as they can about me. I already sort of have a relationship with coach (Justin) Frye, but I’m trying to build more of a relationship this time around.”
.

OSU has had success recruiting Winton Woods, landing alums such as Miyan Williams, Jerron Cage and most recently, Jermaine Mathews. Greene is not your typical Ohio prospect, as he moved to Cincinnati a few years ago from London, England. While he may not have the sentimental value one would have if he grew up cheering for OSU, Greene feels a connection to OSU because of the success past Winton Woods players have had with the Buckeyes.

“Since I’ve been in Ohio, Ohio State has been a big deal at my school. Especially with Jermaine and Miyan, of course we know all about them,” Greene said. “They bring out great players, and I am an Ohio State fan, it’s a really good school.”

Greene was a rugby player in London, then started playing high school football two years ago after his move.

Greene played right tackle in his first year at Winton Woods before moving to left tackle last year. And he might just be scratching the surface of the player he can become.

Absolutely massive kid! But that's about all the positive I could see. I wanted him to just dominate to where the opposing DE no longer had much of a will. And I didn't see that. Greene had slow feet, tried to use his size at times with little technique- which is something that'd never fly at OSU level. He had a bad holding penalty on a TD when he was beat by a DE that was smaller and slower. But didn't give up. That DE would barely make a MAC team...
Greene is a guy a lower tier B1G program would take a flyer on. Or even a MAC school at this point. Hopefully he looks better in a few weeks when I see him again
