Breaking: Ohio State extends numerous offers, one of which is to a highly skilled former Florida State wide out However, regrettably…..

The Buckeyes are busy evaluating talent in the next two cycles.

We are nearing the end of January, a month that has been almost exclusively positive for Ryan Day’s group on both the recruiting trail and in the transfer portal. The Buckeyes’ latest good news came in the form of a huge commitment in the 2025 class, as in-state offensive lineman Carter Lowe committed to Ohio State as one of the nation’s best at his position.

Day and his staff will look to keep the good times rolling as the calendar flips to February, and have already been busy in their talent evaluations in both the 2025 and 2026 classes. Ohio State has sent out numerous offers in each cycle in just the past few days, including a former Florida State commit who happens to be one of the top wide receivers in the country in the sophomore class.

Georgia native Devin Carter earned an Ohio State offer as one of a handful of schools that have offered the 2026 prospect since he de-committed from the Seminoles on Jan. 22 — a group that includes Miami, Texas, and others in addition to the Buckeyes.

A track athlete, Carer played varsity snaps as a freshman on a Saints team that went 11-3 and played for a state title, catching 30 passes for 417 yards and six touchdowns, earning himself a spot in the FBU Freshman All-American Bowl. He followed it up with a dominant sophomore season, hauling in 51 catches for 923 yards and 13 TDs en route to a state title.

As a Florida State legacy, it was seemingly a forgone conclusion that Carter wound play for the Seminoles at the next level, but now that his recruitment is once again open, you can never count out Brian Hartline. There is a lot of time between now and when Carter will sign, as he is just a high school sophomore, and if Hartline is serious about this one, Ohio State should always like its chances.

Moving to the nearer future in the 2025 class, the Buckeyes continued to scour the country for talent on both sides of the football. That search took them to South Carolina, where Ohio State extended an offer to four-star defensive lineman Isaiah Campbell.
