New Ohio State running back coach Carlos Locklyn was busy on the recruiting trail on Tuesday.

Locklyn offered two new running backs in the 2026 cycle, both of whom are four-star prospects and top-five running backs in the class. We’ll break down each of them below.

Jonathan Hatton Jr.

Hatton committed to Oklahoma on Oct. 3, but that didn’t stop Ohio State from getting in the mix for the Cibolo, Texas product.

AGTG! After a great chat with @Locklyn33 Im blessed and grateful to receive an offer from @OhioStateFB.
