The Ohio State football program has been on a hot streak when it comes to recruiting. They have landed three recruits in the last four days and show no signs of slowing down. The momentum they have right now is real, and it should pick up even more after the Spring Game.
Ohio State is not done going after some big-time prospects. They have some five-star recruits that they still are pursuing. One of them is about to make another visit to Columbus this weekend. Tyler Bowen has another chance of landing an offensive line recruit.
Bowen has done a great job of recruiting guys since he got the offensive line coaching gig after Justin Frye left for the Arizona Cardinals. So far, he has added three offensive linemen to the 2026 class. He's hoping that he can add another big fish after this weekend.
Five-star offensive line recruit will visit the Ohio State football team this weekend
Five-star offensive lineman Darius Gray will be making another visit to the Ohio State Buckeyes this weekend. Gray is from Richmond, Virginia, and is listed at 6'3 and 285 pounds. He's an interior lineman who has a ton of offers from some of the best programs in the country.
Gray has already been in Columbus once, and he is excited to be back. He posted on social media about his excitement for this visit.

Gray is someone who the Buckeyes would love to have on their team. While they aren't at the top of his list right now, that could certainly change. Bowen has a chance to show what the Buckeyes have to offer, including a chance to win national championships.
The Buckeyes currently have ten commitments in the 2026 recruiting class. Getting Gray to choose Ohio State would be the first time that the Buckeyes have landed a five-star offensive line recruit since Paris Johnson Jr. He was in the class of 2020.
A good visit this weekend will go a long way to giving them a chance to bring Gray to Columbus for good. Ryan Day and Bowen will certainly give him a great pitch.
