The Ohio State football program has the top recruiting class in the country for 2025. This is despite the fact that they have just 17 commits. A lot of their work was done early in the Spring and it has paid off. They currently have the most five-star recruits of anyone in the country.
That number could go up after this weekend. The Buckeyes have a ton of recruits coming in for an official visit, including five five-star recruits. Three of them are already committed to the Buckeyes. One of them is the biggest recruit left on the board for them.
David Sanders Jr. is the best offensive line recruit in the country. Ohio State has been trying very hard to get him to commit. This is the visit that could end up pushing him over the edge, especially since there will be four recruits on this visit who have already committed to the Ohio State football program.
Another recruit who will be visiting this weekend is five-star cornerback Dorian Brew. Brew has been on the Buckeyes' radar for a while. Despite the fact that they already have two five-star cornerbacks, they would love to get him too. It sounds like this is the visit that could get Brew to commit.
In all, the Buckeyes will be hosting 12 recruits this weekend. 11 of them are either four or five-star recruits. When there's that much talent on campus at one time, there is a level of pressure to make sure that things go smoothly. If the Ohio State Buckeyes can impress these guys, an already elite recruiting class would become even better.

This could be the most important recruiting weekend of the year for Ohio State. They should get at least two commitments following the weekend. They would love to get more.
