The Ohio State football program has turned its attention to adding players to the 2027 recruiting class now that spring ball is over. They were only able to land one recruit during the weekend of the Spring Game, which was somewhat surprising. Still, they have a good class already.

Of the programs in the top five of the recruiting class, the Ohio State Buckeyes have the fewest number of recruits. In fact, they had just 10 recruits heading into Monday afternoon. That's far fewer than the number of recruits they had committed to them at this point a year ago.

One spot that they have a glut of recruits at in the 2027 class is at offensive line. Coming into Monday, they already had four commits up front. On Monday, they added to that total up front by landing a four-star recruit who plays his high school football in Columbus.

Ohio State football team lands four-star recruit Davis Seaman

Davis Seaman, a four-star recruit out of Bishop Watterson High School, has decided to commit to the Buckeyes. He picked Ohio State over Auburn, Tennessee, and Penn State. He stands 6'5 and 285 pounds and will be used as an interior offensive lineman at the next level.

Adding Seaman gives Ohio State a whopping five players on the offensive line. Tyler Bowen's goal was clearly to replenish the depth that had been lost in recruiting classes left over from Justin Frye. Yet, none of the recruits he has grabbed have been five-star kids.

Seaman also plays lacrosse, so he is an athletic player. He's an offensive lineman who should actually be able to contribute to the program as a starter at some point in his collegiate career. Landing him is a win. It also means that Ohio State is likely not taking any more offensive linemen this cycle.

Ryan Day and his staff will need to get busy at landing prospects at other positions, but they have all summer to do that. Keeping a talented hometown kid is always a good thing, and Seaman is a good player. Ohio State should be very pleased.
