The Ohio State football team has started to close the gap in the 2026 recruiting class. After a rough start to the summer with this class, the Buckeyes have been on a flurry of flipping recruits for that class late in the cycle. With Signing Day just a few weeks away, Ohio State has the seventh-best recruiting class in the country.
If that ranking holds, the Ohio State Buckeyes would have the worst recruiting class by ranking in the Ryan Day era. He and his staff are trying like heck to make sure that the ranking does not hold and that it improves before the cycle is finished.
