2023 Ohio State Football Commits

Keeping track of the elite prospects who have committed to the Buckeyes for the current recruiting cycle.
In this story:

Under the direction of fourth-year head coach Ryan Day, the Ohio State football program continues to recruit at the highest level, both in state and nationally.

In fact, the Buckeyes have finished no worse than fifth in team recruiting rankings since he took over ahead of the 2019 season – and that doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon.

With that said, below is a list of all of Ohio State’s commitments for the 2023 recruiting cycle, as well as links to their commitment and impact articles. 

It will be updated as additional prospects join the fold, culminating with the Early Signing Period in December and National Signing Day in February.
