Not concerned.
Kid is graduating in about 4 weeks from High School and early enrolling at Ohio State. Unless something has drastically changed, that's still the plan.

Kid is football fast too. I've seen him run guys down on defense that he had no business being close too.
BTW some of these run measurements were done when he was 190lbs+ - the speed will follow him as he puts on more muscle.

Kind of sounds like a Parris Campbell to me, is that a good comparison? I sure hope so for our sake.

Better Know A Buckeye is our look at every member of Ohio State’s 2026 recruiting class and how they became Buckeyes as they prepare to begin their OSU careers this fall.
Jaeden Ricketts always wanted to be a Buckeye, growing up an Ohio State fan and attending as many games as possible after OSU started recruiting him. When the Buckeyes gave the Pataskala product an offer, he couldn't turn it down.
Jaeden Ricketts
- Size: 5-11/201
- Position: WR
- School: Watkins Memorial (Pataskala, Ohio)
- 247 Sports Composite: ★★★
- Composite Rank: #552 (#75 WR)
Background
Growing up just 25 miles away from campus, Ricketts earned an Ohio State offer in June 2024 following an impressive display at a high school football camp.In what was a very quiet recruitment, the wideout was a frequent visitor at Ohio State, attending as many OSU home games as possible in 2024 and 2025. Ricketts committed to the Buckeyes on Nov. 16, 2024. He didn't hold a 247Sports composite ranking at the time and held only eight other Division I offers: Akron, Ball State, Bowling Green, Illinois, Kent State, Miami (OH), Ohio and Toledo.

Jaeden Ricketts already has top-end speed, but must develop as an all-around slot receiver to become a playmaker at Ohio State.
