Ohio State Football Recruiting Roundup - January 22nd Update

The Ohio State Buckeyes are still riding the momentum from their national title, and there could be even more wins coming for a team that already has the best recruiting class in the Big 10 (and it isn't really close).

Here's all the latest, as of 1/22:

Another Bosa?

The Buckeyes are extremely interested in Nick Bosa (pictured), a 5-Star Class of 2016 DE who happens to be the younger brother of current OSU standout Joey Bosa. DC Chris Ash and CBs coach Kerry Coombs are both in Florida checking up on the younger Bosa, and at this stage, it's hard to see him ending up anywhere besides Ohio State.

Bosa is classmates with 2015 3-Star CB Damon Arnette and 2017 4-Star WR Trevon Grimes, and the Buckeyes have offered all three. Arnette (currently committed to South Carolina) is the only one we can see ending up elsewhere.

Naseir Upshur

The 4-Star 2016 TE/DE has no shortage of suitors, but the Buckeyes are reportedly one of the teams tracking him closely. Mike Farrell of Rivals.com says he'd guess Ohio State is one of Upshur's top two, which isn't a huge surprise - he told 247 he was high on OSU last month, and new Ohio State OC Ed Warinner has been one of the central figures in his recruitment.

Kareem Orr

The 3-Star CB from Chattanooga, TN named his top two yesterday afternoon, and Ohio State is trailing Arizona State for the lead in his recruitment. Orr will visit Columbus before he makes his decision, though, and they'll have that chance to reclaim the lead (he already took his last official visit to ASU).

Tom Herman

Now the head coach at Houston, the former OSU OC told Bruce Feldman of CBS Sports that he wouldn't consider recruiting any Ohio State players considering a transfer. While he didn't mention any names, it's highly likely that means Braxton Miller - who had been linked to Herman's new team - won't be joining him in Houston.

In other Herman-related news, he hired Adrian Mayes - a former Buckeyes assistant - as his recruiting coordinator yesterday.
