Summary
With the season less than a month away, one might think our focus has gone totally away from recruiting.
Wrong!
We always have recruiting on a front burner here and today is no exception. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to touch on the following topics:
* Three top 60 prospects remain uncommitted in the Class of 2026's Top247. Ohio State is theoretically in the mix for all three. We dive deep on Bralan Womack, Darius Gray and Savion Hiter with their commitments scheduled for later this month.
* Ohio State's season opener against visiting Texas is a prime time for the Buckeyes to entertain recruits. We peek at the burgeoning guest list while acknowledging some challenges in building attendance.
* There is 300-plus pound prospect from Texas the Buckeyes have offered that boasts Ohio ties. He also lines up as Wildcat quarterback at times. We have video prove it. Meet Jalen Brewster.
Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
