Summary

Ohio State's been busy on the recruiting trail even with the start of the 2024 season. Over the past two weeks, its top-rated 2025 recruiting class added two more members putting the class at 26 commits. That makes it the largest class of the Ryan Day era passing his 2020 class which held 25. On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means and Andrew Gillis break down the latest additions and what they bring to the class. Then they have a lengthy conversation about five-star quarterback commit Tavien St. Clair and how his growing superstardom is preparing him for the SU spotlight. Plus, a look at two 2026 five-stars who may reclassify and who Andrew thinks could commit to Ohio State next. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.
