The rankings – which are based upon a blend of camp evaluations, senior film and all-star game performances – feature seven players who signed with Ohio State last month, as well as one commit who is set to fax in his National Letter of Intent next week, including:

No. 12 - Kettering (Ohio) Archbishop Alter linebacker C.J. Hicks

No. 54 - Memphis Christian Brothers running back Dallan Hayden

No. 59 - Duncanville, Texas, defensive end Omari Abor (unsigned)

No. 62 - Chicago St. Rita wide receiver Kaleb Brown

No. 65 - Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna defensive end Kenyatta Jackson

No. 68 - Chandler, Ariz., wide receiver Kyion Grayes

No. 71 - Pickerington (Ohio) Central safety Sonny Styles

No. 83 - Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon quarterback Devin Brown

The eight total players is the fourth-most in the country, trailing only Alabama with 12, Texas A&M with 11 and Georgia with 10. It’s by far the most in the Big Ten, as well, with Penn State as the next closest with four selections.
