#1: Ohio State Buckeyes

  • Verbal Commitments: 19
  • 247 Composite Rank: #1
  • 247 Composite Score: 286.14
  • 247 Composite Average Rating: 93.73

Recruit rankings:

  • 1-50: 4
  • 51-100: 2
  • 101-200: 6
  • 201-400: 5
  • 400+: 2
  • Quarterback commitments: 0

It shouldn’t come as a shock that the Buckeyes have the best class in the nation, and are in a good position to finish at #1. Ohio State has been a recruiting juggernaut for years, despite a short dip before Urban Meyer took over the program. Ryan Day kept the momentum going, but I’m starting to think the best hire OSU has made in the past decade isn’t Day – it’s Brian Hartline. Hired in the wake of the Zach Smith scandal which ultimately led to Meyer’s resignation, Hartline has made a strong case that he is the best recruiter & developer in all of college football.

Presently, Ohio State’s wide receiver class has three Top 50 wide receivers. Half of the top six wide receivers in the country are presently committed to the Buckeyes, with a fourth 4-star guy committed as well. They have more Top 50 guys committed than anyone else right now.

Like the Irish, they have one blemish – no quarterback. With all the talent at receiver, they probably don’t need a 5-star name. The Buckeyes won’t be slowing down anytime soon.
