One of Ohio State’s top defensive end targets in the 2025 cycle has locked in a pair of visits to Columbus.
Four-star defensive end London Merritt told Eleven Warriors he plans on returning to Columbus for his fourth visit sometime next month for a spring practice, then will take an official visit to OSU on June 14.
Ohio State already has a top-10 defensive end in its 2025 class in Zahir Mathis, but the Buckeyes are hoping to add a second in Merritt. Momentum is trending in a positive direction for OSU with the IMG Academy (Bradenton, Florida) product, who is considered the 73rd-best prospect and the ninth-rated edge prospect in the 2025 class per 247Sports’ composite rankings.
