The Ohio State football team has a history of landing some of the best quarterback recruits in the country. Kyle McCord, Julian Sayin, and Tavien St. Clair are just some recent five-star quarterbacks to play for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Ryan Day is a savant at recruiting QBs.
This season, it will likely be Sayin who ends up winning the starting job. His goal is to have the job for two years before heading off to the NFL. Day loves to have a quarterback in every recruiting class, and he already has his QB for the class of 2027.
Brady Edmunds has been committed to the Buckeyes since December 24th of 2024, so they feel good about his chances of signing with the program. He will visit the program for another official visit for the epic showdown against Penn State on November 1st.
The Ohio State football team will get a visit from a top quarterback prospect
Edmunds will visit Ohio State for what will be the most important Big Ten game they will play at home this season. The Nittany Lions will start the season as the second-best team in the AP Poll, as this is the best team that James Franklin has ever had since becoming Penn State's head coach.
With the NIL era having changed recruiting in college football, recruits are pursued until they have signed with the school in either December or February. That means other schools will keep trying to recruit Edmunds until he actually signs with the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Ohio State feels really good about Edmunds coming in next season. While he is a highly-rated recruit, they believe that he will be fine sitting on the bench for a couple of years while he learns the offense. He will have a shot to win the starting job in 2027 when Sayin is gone.
It would certainly be better for the Buckeyes if they could win that game against Penn State. That would certainly give Edmunds a better reason to head to Ohio State. It would make him and all of the other future recruits excited to head to Columbus.
