The Ohio State football program usually gets the best players from the state of Ohio. Usually, the best recruits in Ohio stay in Ohio. Ryan Day has made that a priority. While he recruits nationally more than previous Ohio State head coaches, he still wants to keep the best from his own backyard.
Right now, the Ohio State Buckeyes have the third-best recruiting class for 2027. It is still very early in the cycle, and Signing Day isn't for another nine months. Still, it's good to see the Buckeyes doing a good job on the recruiting trail so far.
