NCAA Football: CFP National Championship-Ohio State at Notre Dame

The Buckeyes sent out their latest offer to a defensive back out of California’s Mater Dei.

One of the premier high school programs in the country, California prep power Mater Dei continues to churn out elite players each and every cycle. Ohio State would be foolish to not be a frequent visitor there, and with current 2026 commit Chris Henry Jr. already in their class, recruiting his teammates hopefully becomes that much easier.

Making their rounds on Thursday, Ohio State offered another Mater Dei product by way of 2027 cornerback prospect, Aaryn Washington. A 6-foot, 160 pound athlete with already quite the offer list, Washington currently checks in as the No. 50 player nationally and the fifth best cornerback per the 247Sports Composite.

Taking to his social media to share the latest news, Ohio State joins the likes of Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and USC among others to enter his recruitment.

From here, the Buckeyes have the connection to Mater Dei to be a consistent voice in his ear, but also boast the track record of success with position coach Tim Walton at the helm of the position the last few years. Recruiting and developing at an incredible rate, Walton will be tough to beat, but now the goal will be to get Washington on campus sooner rather than later.


AGTG!! After an AMAZING conversation with Coach @OGWalt_ & @tylerwaltonc4 I am blessed to receive an offer from THEE OHIO STATE!!!#GoBuckeyes @GregBiggins @adamgorney @Zack_Poff_MP @BrandonHuffman @MDFootball @Locksmith1o1 @sensei_david42 pic.twitter.com/i1bbZK3f3Y

New names continue to be added for spring visit season​


At this point it might almost be easier to name who won’t be visiting Columbus in the coming weeks, but that’s a great sign for the Buckeyes and their recruiting efforts. Hosting top players from all over the country, new names continue to be added each day, making what should be a very impactful and important spring both on and off the field.

Sharing his plans to be in town on March 24, class of 2027 Texas native James Harris will make an unofficial visit with the Buckeyes. A 6-foot-2, 225 pound edge rusher, Harris has yet to be ranked via his 247Sports profile, but has spring trips set to see Houston, TCU, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and others in the works further proving he’s seeing his recruiting interest start to pick up.

Yet to land an offer, it won’t be a shock at all for that to change in the coming weeks with his many visits planned, but having Ohio State on his list keeps on the staff’s radar for the time being.

In addition to Harris, in-state Ohio product Amar’e Miller also shared on Thursday he too will be on campus to see Ohio State in the coming weeks. Set to be in town on April 8, Miller will make the short commute from Pickerington, where he helps captain the back end of his prep program at Pick North.

The No. 1011 player nationally and 78th best safety in the 2026 class per the 247Sports Composite, Miller has double-digit offers, but not from the Buckeyes. Schools such as Akron, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Kentucky, and others are on his list, but his spring plans will help generate more interest his way.

A class that has some elite safety prospects in it, Ohio State is heavily in the mix for some of the top-ranked national guys, but it never hurts to keep a close eye on the those around their own backyard, and having Miller for an unofficial visit does just that.

Offers from the likes of LSU, Oregon, Texas, USC, and several others, Ohio State has yet to join the fold but that could change when he makes his stop this coming June.
