Four other prospects who made official visits to Ohio State in May and June remain top targets for the Buckeyes (uncommitted running back David Gabriel Georges, uncommitted wide receiver Monshun Sales, uncommitted defensive tackle Karlos May and Texas Tech wide receiver commit Benny Easter Jr.) while four other summer visitors have since committed elsewhere (BYU wide receiver commit Blake Wong, Colorado linebacker commit Kaylon Bailey, Michigan cornerback commit Monsanna Torbert Jr. and Florida State running back commit Jayden Miles).

Alabama’s Emergence As Fertile Recruiting Ground for Ohio State Continues with Karlos May’s Commitment

Karlos May will be the seventh player from Alabama to play for Ohio State since Nick Saban’s retirement in 2024 – a state where OSU previously had just two players all-time.

No team in all of college football recruited better than the University of Alabama during Nick Saban’s 17-year run coaching the Crimson Tide. Every single one of Saban’s 17 recruiting classes at Alabama ranked in the top five of 247Sports’ composite team rankings. Add in the fact that Auburn was often competing for SEC and national championships, and it was rare for top prospects from Alabama to leave their home state.

Since Kalen DeBoer replaced Saban in 2024, however, Alabama has lost its stranglehold on top talent in its backyard. Mystifyingly, all of the top 15 prospects from the state of Alabama in the 2027 class are now committed to schools other than the University of Alabama. Auburn, meanwhile, is coming off five straight seven-loss seasons.

Data via 247Sports . . continued . .
NIL promises often supersede regional roots in today’s recruiting landscape, and that’s allowed Ohio State – not only with its financial resources, but also its track record of perennially competing for championships and producing early-round NFL draft picks – to have more recruiting success than ever before in states that were historically controlled by SEC powers. There’s no more striking example of that than how quickly Ohio State has created a pipeline of talent from Alabama to Columbus over the last three years.

Just sayin': Alabama isn't doing too well in it's own state.
