Ohio State has recruited extremely well for the class of 2021, ranking second-best in the country. These three guys could still be added to the class to make it even better.

Ohio State has been excellent in recruiting over the past few years. They have had top ten recruiting classes consistently dating back to Urban Meyer’s first year. Now Ryan Day has shown the ability to keep that high standard in recruiting going.

The Buckeyes have the second-best class in the 2021 recruiting cycle right now, just slightly behind Alabama. They were number one in the rankings for a long while but fell a few weeks ago to second. They can still get back to that number one spot.

There are three top-shelf recruits that the Buckeyes can still land to push them back into that number one spot and keep it for good. One of them is a bit of a longshot. The other two are forecasted to come to Columbus though, so that is a good thing.

All of these prospects are at least four-star guys. All of them would be able to help the Buckeyes immediately as well, which is a big thing for prospects of that caliber. Highly-touted guys want to be able to play right away. All three of these guys would.

We start out with the guy who is least likely to sign with Ohio State. In fact, he de-committed from the Buckeyes a few months ago. But there is always a chance to bring someone back!
