Calling college football recruits who enroll in January “early” enrollees is becoming more and more of a misnomer each year.
At Ohio State, enrolling in January has become the norm for incoming freshmen, as 21 members of Ohio State’s 2025 recruiting class were on campus for spring practice. Add in the six transfers who joined the Buckeyes in January, and Ohio State had 27 midyear enrollees (midyear in an academic year sense).
That said, Ohio State still has a class of summer enrollees who are joining the team this week to fill out the Buckeyes’ 2025 roster.
