Ranking just behind the Buckeyes in On3's Top 25 was back-to-back-to-back SEC schools in the Alabama Crimson Tide, LSU Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs. A newly-added Big Ten team rounded out the top five and to no surprise that team is the Oregon Ducks.

Eight Big Ten teams currently sit in the top 25 with the final six teams falling outside of the top ten. Penn State sits at 13, Michigan at 15, USC at 17, Rutgers at 19, Wisconsin at 21 and Washington at 22.

Even though the Buckeyes have a strong 2025 class at the moment, they have a great chance to finish in the top spot despite being a long way away from next year's classes being wrapped up for everyone.

On Thursday night at 8 p.m. five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore is scheduled to announce his commitment. He is the number one ranked receiver in this upcoming class and has narrowed his top four down to Ohio State, LSU, Oregon and Texas.

Not only would landing Moore be huge for the Buckeyes, but they also have their sights set on five-star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench, five-star offensive tackle David Sanders Jr. and four-star linebacker Riley Pettijohn to name a few top prospects.

Ohio State could potentially secure the commitments of quite a few more prospects prior to the start of the 2024-25 season.
