Ohio State is off to a strong start in the 2027 recruiting class with two commits, but next year’s recruiting cycle is only just getting underway. The next step for high school juniors is to schedule their fall gameday visits, and Ohio State continues to secure elite recruits for trips to Ohio Stadium.
Five-star edge rusher Chris Whitehead has his trip to Columbus on the books after reportedly scheduling a visit with the Buckeyes for their Week 1 matchup against No. 1 Texas. Whitehead will be one of many top recruits on the sidelines for one of the biggest games of the season and a rematch of last season’s College Football Playoff semifinal at the Cotton Bowl.
