Summary
Ohio State secured Class of 2021 commitments from four of 247Sports' top 10 players and remains in the running for No. 1-ranked J.T. Tuimoloau.
Here's great news: You can expect an encore performance. The Buckeyes already have Class of 2022's No. 1-ranked Quinn Ewers in the fold. Fellow Texan Caleb Burton, the No. 9-ranked prospect, is also Columbus bound.
But wait ... there's more. Possibly a lot more. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to share buzz on where the top uncommitted prospects are considering and let's just say Ohio State came up ... multiple times.
