Ohio State set to host nation’s No. 1 offensive lineman, five-star wide receiver this weekend
The Buckeyes are bringing in more elite guests for a major recruiting weekend.
The Buckeyes currently have one offensive line commitment in the 2025 class thanks to in-state pledge Carter Lowe. His addition was a big time feat, but this class must continue to add to it at the position for it to truly be successful.
Every football mind knows the game is won in the trenches, and while Ohio State is and has been talented up front, they also haven’t reached their
ultimate goals the last few seasons, proving the recruiting and development have to be better. Development can be sped up — and easier, for a lack of a better term — when you bring in elite prospects, and that’s Ohio State’s goal every year.
The recruiting wins over the last few cycles have been mostly keeping their in-state guys at home, but the long sought after national tackle target has continued to elude Ohio State. The Buckeyes have come up short in that regard too many times, but it hasn’t been for a lack of trying. Thankfully, it looks as if the staff is getting another shot at it this coming weekend when they bring in one of the best in the country.
Making it’s way all over social media on Wednesday, five-star offensive tackle David Sanders has set his visit plans for this weekend, as he’ll take in Ohio State and all that the Buckeyes have to offer.
The No. 2 player nationally and the top offensive tackle in the class per the 247Sports Composite, Sanders getting to Columbus for a multiple-day trip is big for the coaching staff, and Ohio State will surely have the atmosphere to impress this weekend, which includes the always rowdy student appreciation practice as well as a very impressive guest list with other high-profile recruits.
Owning 40-plus offers to his name from the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Florida, LSU, USC and every other major program, it’s Clemson right now that leads the way on the 247Sports Crystal Ball feature. The Buckeyes are going to shoot their best shot this weekend and for the foreseeable future, but again, getting him on campus this weekend is a major deal and should certainly help their chances moving forward.
