The three most important Ohio State football upcoming recruiting visits
By Ryan Stano
2. Vernell Brown III
One position that the Ohio State football program usually doesn't have any issue recruiting is the wide receiver position. Brian Hartline is as good of a recruiter as anyone in the country. His track record speaks for itself and receiver recruits have taken notice.
After landing the number-one overall recruit in last year's class, he is trying to land another really solid receiver for 2025. Vernell Brown III is one of those receivers. He is listed as a four-star recruit and is from Orlando, Florida. He is currently projected to pick the Buckeyes.
Brown III is set to visit Columbus next month on May 31st. He stands at 5'11 and 170 pounds, so he's not the biggest guy in the world. He makes up for that with his speed and his solid set of hands. That's something the Ohio State football team is always on the look out for.
This visit could be the time that the Buckeyes seal up his commitment. He is scheduled to take two more visits after heading to Columbus on the last day of May, so we'll see if he still takes those visits after coming to Columbus. Hartline is usually pretty good at closing.
The final player on this list is someone who could solidify this being the best secondary recruiting class in Ohio State football history.
