It is never too early to start thinking about recruiting after the Class of 2026. Actually, Ohio State already has two players committed in the Class of 2027, and they may be well on their way to getting their third.
247Sports has officially crystal-balled 4-star offensive tackle Kalel Johnson to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Johnson is being looked at by over 20 different schools, but the college football recruiting experts believe the Buckeyes have everyone else beat already. Other schools currently looking at Johnson include Kentucky, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, Pitt, and Purdue.
