Reed Gerken to visit OSU this weekend
A promising in-state offensive lineman has confirmed he’s attending Ohio State’s Week 2 matchup against Western Michigan.

Perrysburg offensive tackle Reed Gerken announced his visit plans on social media Monday. The 6-foot-5, 290-pound tackle could be a promising prospect in the class of 2027. He has five offers thus far, all from MAC schools, but that should change quickly as he continues to develop.

Ohio 2027 offensive lineman Reed Gerken grew up an avid Ohio State fan and made it a priority to watch the Buckeyes every Saturday.

The 6-foot-5, 290-pound Gerken has attended several Ohio State games with his family as a fan in his lifetime, but Saturday’s contest against Western Michigan was his first time experiencing Ohio Stadium as a recruit.

“It was a great experience, I’m extremely grateful for it,” Gerken told Eleven Warriors. “The biggest takeaway was Ohio State has a great atmosphere. That night game was extremely fun. My parents and I both enjoyed it and we all had a great time.”



The last game Gerken can remember attending at Ohio State was the Buckeyes’ eventual defeat against Oregon in 2021. Saturday’s contest was a much better outcome, as OSU looked like a machine in its 56-0 win over WMU.

“It was completely different,” Gerken said of his time at OSU as a recruit compared to a fan. “It was great how Buckeye nation was treating us and stuff like that. All of the fans were saying what’s up to us and that meant a lot. The coaches want to show you the atmosphere and the fans are also buying into it as well. How loud they get during night games on third down, I thought it was something really cool.”

Gerken spent time with Carter Lowe on the visit and said he and the OSU offensive line commit have formed a close relationship. He also spoke at length with Justin Frye and graduate assistant coach Mike Sollenne on the trip.

“I learned a lot from coach Frye and coach Sollenne,” Gerken said. “They were giving me some pointers after watching the first two weeks of my film and they just want to see me get better. (Coach Frye) was talking to me about my stance and saying he wants to see me a little more relaxed in my stance because I’m a little too low. When I go to kickstep I am leaning too far backwards which can allow penetration inside. So he was telling me to be a little more relaxed and that should help.”

From Land-Grant Holy Land:

One of the other big visitors for Ohio State this weekend was 2027 wide receiver Dakota Geurrant. Returning to Columbus for the third time in just the last few months, Guerrant earned his OSU offer from both Brian Hartline and Tim Walton (he also plays DB) back at one of the Buckeyes’ recruiting camps in June. The Michigan legacy is the No. 5 WR and No. 29 player nationally in his class per the 247Sports Composite.


Just sayin': That was the Marshall game.
