Ohio State Football: Top running back recruit has Buckeyes in top 5

The Ohio State football program’s future running back classes are slim right now as Miyan Williams – a three-star from Cincinnati Winton Woods – is the only back in the 2020 class, and they don’t have one in the 2021 class yet.

However, the Buckeyes received big news on Friday that the seventh-best running back in the 2021 class, Lovasea Carroll, put Ohio State in his top five, along with Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and Auburn.

Carroll is a four-star back, according to 247Sports, with a composite rating of .9553.

From Warrenton, Georgia, the six-foot, 189-pound back is the 15th-ranked recruit in all of Georgia and the 101st-ranked recruit in the country.
