The Ohio State football program has been trying to flip some recruits as the season has gone along. With just a few weeks left until Signing Day for the 2026 recruiting class, Ohio State is hoping to improve its recruiting ranking. They still sit just ninth in the country.
Adding some players from schools that have fired their coaches would certainly help with that, but the Buckeyes are also still looking at recruits from other schools that have their coaches intact. One recruit they are looking heavily into is Emanuel Ruffin.
Ruffin is a four-star recruit who committed to Colorado in September.
