Another Elite Cornerback Is Selected By Ohio State For The 2025 Class
The Ohio State Buckeyes have had a lot of success in recruiting. Not only have they recruited some of the best players through the transfer site, but things appear to be going well going forward. In particular, the class of 2025 is expected to be historic. Na’eem Offord, the fifth overall pick, declared his commitment to the school a week after the team signed one of the best cornerbacks in the class.
Na’eem Offord, the Ohio State Lands CB, visited Columbus this past weekend and seemed to like what he saw. It was not long before he verbally committed. He teams up with the class’s second-ranked cornerback, Devin Sanchez. Even though it is just February, the Buckeyes already have six players ranked in the top 85 in the 2025 cycle. Out of the six, five have made commitments in the past month. Although Ryan Day has been under fire, it is difficult to criticize his recruiting efforts.
Pressure to Come Out on Top
Future management of the initiative is in capable hands. There is, nevertheless, immediate pressure to succeed. Michigan has defeated the Buckeyes three years in a row. They have an abundance of skill on the squad, but when it counts most, they haven’t been able to defeat the top teams. With Jim Harbaugh out of the picture, the pressure only mounts. Day might be in hot water if Ohio State doesn’t win this year.
In 2024, can the Buckeyes win the Big Ten? They just need to figure out how to translate their talent into on-field success.
