Ohio State football hoping to steal a 4-star WR right from LSU's backyard

Ryan Day and Ohio State football are putting in serious work when it comes to the 2027 class. Yes, the 2026 haul is the focus, but the Ohio State staff is turning a lot of heads when it comes to high school juniors who are taking their recruitment seriously.

Such is the case for '27 wide receiver Miguel Whitley, who is quickly becoming a top target for schools across the country. Throughout his recruitment, the 6-0, 180-pound speedster has picked up 21 offers. However, in a new interview with Rivals' Sam Spiegelman, the touted wideout said that Ohio State and LSU are his top schools and there isn't any separation there.
