Most of the headlines right now regarding Ohio State recruiting haven’t been real positive. With two in-state Ohio kids committing to Michigan in consecutive days, the vibes haven’t felt great, but there’s a couple of things to realize when putting everything into perspective.
First and foremost, losing Jordan Marshall to the Wolverines hurts. Fortunately, the Buckeyes are in the mix for some even higher-ranked running backs in the 2024 class, with James Peoples leading the way. He’s just one of the many backs who will soon be on campus. The interest between Peoples and Ohio State is as high as you can get, and the commitment of Marshall away from the Buckeyes might even help Ohio State’s chances of landing People sooner than later.
