Various OSU recruiting targets and commitments alike flocked to Columbus to watch the highly-billed matchup between the Buckeyes and Oregon. Of course, the end result was less than stellar for the Scarlet and Gray, with OSU getting upset 35-28.
If it’s any consolation, one disappointing loss likely isn’t going to prevent a recruit from coming to Ohio State if that’s where they planned on committing in the first place.
Anyway, most athletes that visited campus have spoken highly of their visits in the days since, including Wayne 2023 four-star offensive lineman Joshua Padilla. Padilla, rated the 194th-prospect and the 10th-best interior offensive lineman in the cycle per 247Sports’ composite rankings, told Eleven Warriors via text Monday he enjoyed the atmosphere at Ohio Stadium.
