Ohio State landed the commitment of four-star defender Simeon Caldwell on Wednesday, multiple sources told ESPN, securing coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes a pledge from the nation's No. 34 overall prospect in the 2026 cycle.
Caldwell, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound recruit from Jacksonville, Florida, is ESPN's No. 4 outside linebacker. He picked Ohio State over Miami, Notre Dame and USC following an unofficial visit with the Buckeyes this past weekend. Caldwell's decision marks Ohio State's second top-35 commitment of the week after the program earned a pledge from four-star safety Blaine Bradford (No. 32 in the ESPN Junior 300) on Monday.
