You've really got to give it to offensive coordinator Brian Hartline, as he once again has struck gold with the Buckeyes landing the commitment of elite wide receiver prospect Kayden Dixon-Wyatt on Sunday.
Oregon and Dan Lanning were hoping they'd come out on top of this recruiting battle, but just like they missed out on 5-star receiver Chris Henry Jr., the exact same can be said for Dixon-Wyatt. Again, Hartline can go ahead and take a bow.
Speaking of Henry, you already know that he's pretty darn fired up that his Mater Dei High (California) teammate is going to be joining him in Columbus once the 2026 campaign gets here. Shortly after Dixon-Wyatt told everyone he's Ohio State-bound, Henry shared quite the photo of the two that Buckeyes fans are smiling from ear to ear about:
Chris Henry Jr. is fired up over Kayden Dixon-Wyatt committing to Ohio State
Go ahead and pose for your future team, fellas. It's easy to see why these two are so happy. The Buckeyes are fresh off a national title and Ryan Day has plenty of people believing that the Buckeyes are going to be able to push for a repeat.
Once the 2026 season gets here, Henry and Dixon-Wyatt will be joining an offense that will also feature superstar wideout Jeremiah Smith. Smith is going to be a sophomore next year, meaning he's still not eligible to make the jump to the NFL.
Can you imagine Smith, Henry AND Dixon-Wyatt on the field together at the same time - yeah, good luck to opposing defensive backs looking to slow down that passing attack. Dixon-Wyatt is ranked the No. 6 WR in the country, while Henry is No. 4. Both those rankings are via 247Sports.
Both playmakers chose Ohio State over a boatload of additional offers. Hartline gets the major assist in getting the two speedsters to commit. There once was a point where people were worried about Henry staying on board too, but he recently shut down his recruitment and canceled his other visits. Knowing Dixon-Wyatt is OSU-bound as well only makes things better for Henry and Buckeyes Nation as a whole.
