Three five-star receivers have Ohio State football team as a finalist

The Ohio State football program recruits receivers better than anyone else. Three elite receivers have them in their final three schools.

The Ohio State football program is the premier program for wide receivers. If you want to dominate in college and be a first-round pick, you play for the Buckeyes. The culture that Brian Hartline has built with the receivers is incredible. He brings in at least one five-star recruit every year.

This year is no different. Even though Ohio State doesn't currently have a five-star receiver for the 2025 recruiting class, they do have a four-star kid. Adding a five-star recruit could be coming soon though if anything is to be learned from a recent interview from Dakorien Moore.

Moore de-committed from LSU and opened up his recruitment. Ohio State is making a big push to get him. He had this to say about his school search, along with other top receivers Jamie Ffrench and Kaliq Lockett.

As you can see, Moore seems to think they all have the same final three. Kaliq Lockett is someone who hasn't been talked about a lot when it comes to the Ohio State football program. He's a five-star kid who hasn't even made a trip to Columbus yet.

Jamie Ffrench has been linked to the Buckeyes forever. In fact, he's the only one of these three receivers who is projected to play for the Buckeyes according to 247Sports. He is the second-best of the receivers Moore talked about, sitting just behind Moore.

There's no possible way the Buckeyes can land all three of these receivers. There's just not enough footballs to go around to satisfy them all. But they definitely can get two of them. Moore and Ffrench are the two guys who have a better shot to choose Ohio State than Lockett does.

It's nice to see that the Buckeyes are getting talked about by the best prospects in the country though. Accumulating as much talent as possible is the name of the game in college football. Now it's time for Ohio State to turn that talent into wins on the biggest stage.
