Everyone knows how well the Ohio State football team recruits. They currently have the second-best recruiting class in the country. They get a lot of four and five-star recruits every single cycle. That doesn’t mean they don’t get some diamonds in the rough too.
Ohio State has had some three-star recruits pop and become some of the best players in Ohio State football history. We don’t have reliable recruiting data for the 20th century, so a lot of the players on this list will come from the year 2002 on. All recruiting data is provided by 247Sports and Rivals.
