Adam Guthrie and Ohio State Football: A 2026 Recruitment Spotlight | As the college football recruiting cycle of 2026 is well underway, a multitude of names have surfaced in discussion over Ohio State's future on the offensive line, but one seems to keep cropping up: Adam Guthrie. The four-star offensive tackle (OT) prospect out of Miami Trace High School in Washington Court House, Ohio, has materialized arguably as the biggest priority for the Buckeyes seeking depth along the offensive line with in-state talent. Now that the 2025 recruiting class is in the books, the attention of Ohio State shifts to the 2026 cycle - one that could prove pivotal to the Buckeyes' long-term success. After getting a couple of tackles in the Transfer Portal, 2026 becomes their next priority. Tacked onto the more general story-line that is Ohio State's 2026 class, Guthrie's commitment makes for a pretty interesting look into Buckeyes' strategy and the world of college football recruiting.  Adam Guthrie: A Rising Star in Ohio Probably one of the hottest recruits within the 2026 class right now is the rising star Adam Guthrie, and he is a big - 6-foot-7 and 285-pound - offensive tackle prospect. Ranked as the nation's No. 211 overall prospect and No. 16 offensive tackle nationally, Guthrie has been widely pursued by powerhouse programs across every corner of America. His long list of over 40 FBS scholarship offers includes elite institutions such as Ohio State, Penn State, Clemson, Michigan, Georgia, Florida, and Texas A&M among others. "This is all about his massive upside as the potential anchor, cornerstone offensive linemen at some top college or university," a recruiting analyst opined. Guthrie is an in-state prospect who has raved about Ohio State, mentioning how proximity to his hometown - it's just 30 minutes away - is part of the attraction. He referred to Ohio State as a "top program" and a school that "definitely sits near the top" of his list. A slew of visits to Columbus - including one for the Iowa game and another for the National Championship celebration - have helped solidify his interest. He's been able to build a relationship with outgoing offensive line coach Justin Frye, among others, after he was personally offered a scholarship by Frye following a conversation on one of his trips to Ohio Stadium. Ohio State has recruited Guthrie very hard. The coaching staff, including head coach Ryan Day and Frye, has made him a priority by visiting his high school multiple times. In fact, they have even attended some of his basketball practices. That attention explains why he is an important piece to Ohio State's recruiting plans in 2026, particularly with the Buckeyes needing to balance a thinner-than-ideal 2025 offensive line class. With his size, athleticism and "true tackle frame," Guthrie would be an ideal fit in Ohio State's scheme, but it's that potential to anchor the line for years which hasn't gone unnoticed. But Ohio State has stiff competition for Guthrie's commitment. Programs like Penn State-which also made in-home visits-and Clemson are highly involved in his recruitment. Most likely, Guthrie's decision will come down to a combination of factors: comfort with the coaching staff, the opportunity for early playing time, and the allure of staying close to home. While Ohio State is in a strong position, the battle for his signature is far from over. Ohio State Recruiting Class of 2026: Building a Powerhouse The 2026 recruiting cycle is one in which Ohio State really needs to fill in some key positional needs to keep the program at an elite level. Ohio State's 2025 class was talented but notably light on offensive linemen, including only three signees. That has put more pressure on the 2026 class, especially the in-state prospects like Guthrie who can help lock down the offensive line. The coaching staff, led by Ryan Day, has always made it clear that recruiting Ohio is atop the list of importance for the Buckeyes - and the 2026 class is shaping up to be one of the deepest in recent memory for the state. Ohio State is prioritizing the best in-state talent on the offensive line for 2026. Along with Guthrie, the Buckeyes are recruiting four-star tackles such as Avon Lake's Maxwell Riley, Archbishop Hoban's Sam Greer and interior lineman Will Conroy from St. Ignatius. That group has been called potentially the "deepest offensive line/tackle class ever" for the state of Ohio, and landing all four would be a big score for the Buckeyes. Particularly, Riley is the biggest target to mention, who has Ohio State and Clemson as his two finalists with a commitment not too far away. Away from the offensive line, Ohio State's 2026 class is oozing with skill on both sides of the ball. The Buckeyes have their first defensive commitment in four-star cornerback Jakob Weatherspoon, an in-state product and exactly the kind of elite defensive back that Ohio State has churned out on a consistent basis. Other elite defensive targets include in-state five-star CB Elbert Hill, four-star LB Cincere Johnson, and four-star S Victor Singleton. On offense, it's five-star WR Chris Henry Jr., who is coming off an injury to his knee but was still the crown jewel of this class. That's been the case since the summer when Henry committed to Ohio State, though other programs seem to be staying in touch - at least publicly. Ohio State recruit the nation, man, but also dominate the in-state products and that's a surefire way to ensure success within the program. That's no different in this 2026 class with the Buckeyes in on several of the top prospects - everything from four-star quarterback Brady Smigiel, who decommitted from Florida State recently, to five-star safety Zech Fort, who includes Ohio State among his top six schools. Throw in the above-mentioned in-state stars and these players can potentially form the core of a class that would keep Ohio State competitive for a national championship.  The Bigger Picture: Ohio State's Recruiting Strategy Ohio State's approach to the 2026 class, both immediate needs and long-term planning, falls in line. With a lighter 2025 offensive line haul, added pressure was put on the 2026 cycle, but securing players such as Guthrie, Riley, and Greer became integral. In that case, Coach Frye put the building of relationships with these prospects first. Ohio State's recent on-field success, headlined by the capturing of a National Championship, has positioned the program as an attractive destination for the most talented of prospects. The Buckeyes' recruiting, too, seems to focus more on adaptability. The transfer portal remains very relevant, and Ohio State adapted by supplementing the roster via transfer while making high school recruiting a priority, ensuring Ohio State will have good depth and flexibility at positions that might see unexpected needs due to attrition and NFL departure-mostly at lines of scrimmage and the secondary. For Guthrie, the commitment to Ohio State would mean being part of a program steeped in tradition with regard to sending NFL-caliber linemen to the league. Ohio State has a rich history in that respect, and couple that with the proximity to home and the ability to compete for championships, that will make them an attractive option. But the Buckeyes still have work to do, staying on that aggressive pursuit, to take out other elite programs for the commitment of Guthrie. | 2/1/2025 1:39:41 PM Views: 105

Ohio State Football: A Grand Celebration Awaits a National Championship | The heart of Columbus is about to go scarlet and gray this Sunday as Ohio State University's football team gets ready to celebrate their just taken home victory over Notre Dame 34-23 in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Celebration events at iconic Ohio Stadium, otherwise affectionately called "The Horseshoe," are set for noon.  Public and free, the gates will open at 10:30 a.m. Free parking is available on a first-come, first-serve basis around Ohio Stadium, St. John Arena and the Schottenstein Center. The fans bundled up against the expected winter chill but high in spirits, will take part in celebration of the ninth national championship. The event will be broadcast live on Big Ten Network for those viewers nationwide and on 10TV for those locally so that those who cannot make it to the event in person can join in the celebration. Ohio State's Athletic Director Ross Bjork will emcee, with scheduled speeches from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther, Ohio State President Ted Carter, head coach Ryan Day, and select players from the championship squad. The atmosphere promises to be electric with fans certain to chant the Buckeyes' rallying cry of "O-H," "I-O," echoing in the stadium. Ohio Stadium, in which many defining moments occurred for this season, would once again bear witness to an unforgettable instance in Ohio State's storied football history. It will celebrate the story of this team, from its regular season loss to Michigan that called into question the direction of the team and the job security of Coach Day, to the triumphant march through the playoffs en route to the title. 
Among the senior day recognitions will be one for quarterback Will Howard, whose performance in the championship game turned out to be pivotal. His 56-yard completion to freshman wideout Jeremiah Smith in the fourth quarter will be replayed to deafening cheers from the fans. The presence of players like Howard, defensive end Jack Sawyer, and others who have pledged to return for the celebration despite their looming NFL Draft decisions will drive home the camaraderie and cohesion that carried the team to victory. It also serves unofficially to tee up the Ohio State recruiting season since many of the top prospects will be in attendance to experience the passion and tradition that is Buckeye football. A time, not only to remember past successes, but to get a glimpse of the hoped-for future in Ohio State football. There will be concessions, but few and well thought out, to offer fans things that warm them up, such as water, hot chocolate, and coffee-since it will be a slight chance of precipitation. The cold does not stand a chance this Saturday against Ohio State spirit. That is the statement of the Ohio State fans who are loyal and dedicated to their team, no matter the weather. | 1/24/2025 6:41:17 PM Views: 134

Damon Wilson: Ohio State's Potential Game-Changing Transfer into 2025 | The unexpected move on the college transfer saga has sent Georgia Bulldogs edge rusher Damon Wilson into the NCAA transfer portal, where the recruitment race for top tier programs is heated. Below, take a deeper look at what would be an Ohio State transfer of Wilson, a set visit schedule, other contenders, and every detail about this movement that is vital.  The Background: He's a former five-star recruit from the class of 2023 and has been a big part of Georgia's defensive line. Despite flashing at times, Wilson was a very situational player, backing up some of the superstars. This season, he has 22 tackles, three sacks, and forced two fumbles in the 2024 season, proving himself as a valuable rotational edge rusher. But Wilson, who has two years of eligibility remaining, has been seeking another opportunity where he can start or play a much more significant role. Ohio State Visit: The Buckeyes are now considered one of the team leaders for the giant wideout. On a visit on January 10, 2025, Wilson will visit Ohio State and take in the Buckeyes' defensive scheme fit along with the coaching staff fit. This visit comes on the heels of Ohio State being one of Wilson's hardest suitors during his initial recruitment out of high school. The Buckeyes need depth along the defensive end position, with guys like Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau heading to the NFL, which puts Wilson in a good position. Other Schools in Consideration: While Ohio State appears to be the leader of the pack, Wilson is not without options: Missouri: Wilson has already visited Missouri, showing interest in their program which is looking to bolster its defense with talented transfers. Texas: Some insiders suggest that Texas could be in the mix, especially considering their need for a pass rusher to keep up with the competitive SEC landscape. Alabama: With Alabama's history with elite defensive ends, they always hang around in these recruitment tugs-of-war, at least, which is less the case this time around, it seems. These schools can present different avenues for Wilson, including immediate playing time and development for top defensive linemen coaching staffs. Why Ohio State? Ohio State does have a good case for the services of Wilson: Familiarity: Ohio State has a pre-existing relationship with Wilson from his high school recruitment days, offering a sense of familiarity and trust. Coaching: Defensive line coach Larry Johnson has developed elite edge rushers such as Chase Young and the Bosa brothers, which could be appealing for Wilson's NFL aspirations. Need for Talent: With the key players gone, Wilson could fall into a very important role and potentially start or be a key rotational player to add depth to Ohio State's defensive line. Ohio State Impact: Landing Wilson would be a coup for Ohio State. His addition could significantly improve the Buckeyes' pass rush in the Big Ten, where they'll face tough competition in the College Football Playoff race. His experience and athleticism could provide the needed edge in big games. Final Thoughts: As the transfer portal window closes and teams lock in their rosters for the upcoming season, the decision of Damon Wilson will be highly watched. A visit to Ohio State could determine his commitment, as the Buckeyes have to show him where he fits. Predictions are currently in favor of Ohio State. The recruitment of Wilson goes past adding any other player and will be viewed as likely to lock up one of the best talents that could be out there in the transfer portal to aid in improving its 2025 defense. This could prove to be the defining moment in Ohio State's defensive strategy, and another chapter in the dynamic world of college football recruiting. | 1/10/2025 9:14:27 PM Views: 202

Ethan Onianwa Transfers from Rice to Ohio State for 2025 Football Season | In a major boost to Ohio State's offensive line, the top-rated offensive tackle out of Rice, Ethan Onianwa, announced that he is committing to the Buckeyes for the 2025 season. This move is amidst Ohio State's intentions of firming up their front line with one of the most pursued transfers in the portal.  Background and Performance at Rice The 6'6", 345-pound Onianwa has been one of the biggest and nastiest linemen on the Rice roster for the past three seasons. He attended Cinco Ranch High School in Katy, Texas, was a three-star recruit out of high school, and signed with Rice. In his time at Rice, he started in all but one game, manning the right side of the line. In 2024, he started nine games on the injured list, conceding just one sack in 294 pass-blocking attempts. Onianwa earned the George R. Brown Offense Award and All-AAC Honors with his very talented, high dependability in his value added to the team. Transfer Decision Onianwa threw his name into the transfer portal in search of additional skill development at a Power 4 school to elevate his NFL draft stock. Among his stops included Iowa, Texas A&M, Florida State, and most importantly, Ohio State. A commitment to the Buckeyes was reported by multiple sources including reports from On3 Sports and Bruce Feldman, putting an underline in Ohio State's aggressiveness within the portal. Impact on Ohio State In theory, the commitment of Onianwa adds to an already deep offensive line for the Buckeyes. Ohio State has been recruiting tackle spots rather hard following the departures of a couple of their biggest names. His experience and physicality will provide immediate impact and mentorship to the younger linemen. It's all part of a bigger strategy employed by Ohio State, which included hosting a number of other high-profile transfer prospects. Future Outlook With one year of eligibility remaining, Onianwa will have the chance to hone his craft under Ohio State's coaching staff - among the best developers of NFL talent. Adding Onianwa to Ohio State improves what could be a strong 2025 and adds depth and some competition to an already-stacked lineup. The transfer of Ethan Onianwa to Ohio State was not just about changing environments; rather, it was more about making a calculated step into professional football and having a say in one of the most successful college football programs. And so, going into the season ahead, Onianwa on the offensive line will be a feature of the strategy that will aim for a championship run by the Buckeyes. This move by Onianwa again underpins the fluidity of college football recruiting, how the transfer portal is used to rebuild rosters, and, on the other hand, gives players like him an avenue to reach their full potential on a much bigger stage. | 12/24/2024 9:01:28 AM Views: 260

Rahtrel Perry: From FCS Standout to Power Four Prospect | New Britain, CT — Rahtrel Perry, towering over other players on the football field at 6-foot-5 and 305 pounds, has become one of the hottest names in the college football transfer portal. Hailing from New London, Connecticut, Perry's story from a high school standout to a probable Power Four offensive lineman is that of commitment and raw ability.  High School Roots Perry's football career took root at Trinity-Pawling School in Pawling, New York, being a part of the graduating class of 2022. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic disruptions, Perry performed well enough to be recognized and selected into the All-ECC First Team offense. This is a very distinguished selection for an offensive lineman. College Journey at Central Connecticut State When he finally arrived at Central Connecticut State University, Perry did not waste any time. He saw action in four games in 2022 to lay the building blocks for what was an outstanding 2023 season. In the last season alone, Perry was more than a participant; he was an integral cog in the Blue Devils' offensive line, playing in all 11 games. His contributions were vital, as Central Connecticut's offensive line was considered one of the best in pass protection in the NEC. They gave up just seven sacks in 12 games, a number that ranked them second in the FCS behind powerhouse South Dakota State. Perry's play was impactful enough to earn him All-NEC First Team honors in 2023, which speaks volumes about his blocking and athleticism. Of course, he did much more than just keep quarterbacks upright throughout his career; Perry has been known to drive defensive linemen into the ground, showing strength and an aggressive style, especially in run blocking. The Transfer Portal Leap Now, Rahtrel Perry is at a crossroads, having entered the transfer portal with eyes set on elevating his game at a higher competitive level. His move has stirred the interest of several leading programs, including Syracuse, LSU, Washington, and Vanderbilt, but it's his visit to Ohio State that has stirred the most interest, given the storied history of the Buckeyes and their need for bolstering in the offensive line. The portal profile of Perry brings out his size, strength, and the aggressive nature of his play. According to Pro Football Focus, in his last season at Central Connecticut, he played 902 offensive snaps with an overall grade of 62.4. Not as much of a 'sure thing' as some established FBS offensive linemen, his physical attributes and performance metrics provide significant upside for any program looking to strengthen their line.  What's Next With Perry at a crossroads of sorts, the Ohio State visit has a chance to be that pivotal point in his recruitment. The Buckeyes - with Justin Frye recruiting him - appear interested in having Perry as part of the solution both for immediate needs and down the line on the line. The thought of going from the FCS level to possibly starting at one of college football's most prestigious programs would be an incredible story of development and opportunity. | 12/20/2024 8:29:44 PM Views: 303

Phillip Bell Chooses Ohio State | As a senior at Mission Viejo High School, Phillip Bell was among the best uncommitted players in California and had begun his last season of high school football Friday. However, this situation did not go on for long! With the commitment by Bell, Brian Hartline who is the wide receiver coach for Ohio State acquired one more first-rate talent in the 2025 class.  Celebrating with a Win Just hours after Akron lost to Ohio State 52 to 6 in the season opener at the horseshoe stadium on September 3rd, Bell declared plans to join the Buckeyes. The team is currently number two in the country and has a 1-0 record making it an exhilarating time for fans of Ohio state. Choosing the Buckeyes Bell had a lot of options on the table, including offers from Southern California, Georgia, Penn State, Alabama, and Washington. But in the end, he chose to don the scarlet and gray. This is a big win for Ohio State, especially with Hartline's knack for developing standout wide receivers. Bell's High School Journey Bell's journey to this point has been impressive. He’s gravitating towards greatness at Mission Viejo because of his quickness, nimbleness and capability to make dramatic plays; an impressive record he has maintained throughout school. It is also interesting to note that this rising star has left behind several remarkable recollections during his high school career that mostly appear as famous clips or in highlight reels. Thanks to such exploits, he attracted lots of college interest. Perfect Timing The timing of Bell's commitment is also interesting. As of September 1, the Division 1 evaluation period has just commenced, which means that college coaches are currently journeying around observing high school matches. This period lasts up until December 1 and thus Bell's games would solely be filled with scouts who want to watch him play live. What's Next for Ohio State? Regarding the recruiting class of 2025 for Ohio State, they still have more work to do. Currently, they are seeking to boost several important areas such as offensive line, defensive back and linebacker. The presence of Bell puts The Buckeyes in an excellent position to keep on strengthening a powerful team for the future. A Personal Memory I remember when I first heard about Bell. It was during a Friday night game under the lights, and he made this incredible one-handed catch that had everyone in the stands on their feet. You could just tell he was something special. Now, seeing him commit to Ohio State, it's clear that he's ready to take his game to the next level. Buckeye Nation is in for a treat! | 9/6/2024 4:52:01 PM Views: 610

Jayvon McFadden: A Rising Star with Eyes on Ohio State | Jayvon McFadden, a true gem in the world of high school football, with skills that are unparalleled and undeniable passion for the game. He hails from a little town in The District of Columbia but his journey to becoming a top recruit has been nothing short of inspiring.  Small Beginnings Jayvon has shown natural talent for football since he was little. His parents recall how he would spend hours in their backyard, imitating the moves made by his favorite players. "He was always out there, rain or shine,” said his mother while smiling. "We knew he had something special." Jayvon’s commitment to the sport is only increasing with age. He was such an outstanding player during his time in high school that he was able to lead the school team into numerous successes while also attracting college scouts’ attention. Not only did he have outstanding physical training but also exemplary character traits like patience and resilience. People such as coaches and fellow players do recognize that he has a unique gift for encouraging them and making them want to be the best they can be. The Ohio State Dream The Big Decision for Jayvon as his senior year looms ahead: place to play for college football. Among tons of offers received by him, one school stands distinctively – Ohio State. There is a rich past behind Buckeyes with an ardent fan community; thus far Jayvon has always wanted to dress in the scarlet and gray colors. "I've always admired Ohio State," Jayvon admits. "The program, the fans, the atmosphere – it's something special. Playing there would be a dream come true." His interest in Ohio State isn't just about football, though. Jayvon is also focused on his education and sees Ohio State as a place where he can excel both on and off the field. "They have great academic programs, and I want to make sure I'm setting myself up for success in the future," he explains. Other Schools in the Mix Although Ohio State is among leading competitors, Jayvon is additionally considering various other prestigious programs. - Colorado: This state is famous for its breathtaking campus and a robust football tradition; thus, Colorado provides an extraordinary combination of athletics and academics. The facilities and coaching staff did impress Jayvon who has been to Boulder before. - South Carolina: South Carolina is appealing because it has many devoted fans as well as a tough SEC schedule. The fact that they look out for each other within their community makes it easier for players to develop. - Maryland: On the East Coast, there’s Maryland – which boasts solid educational institutions coupled with supportive sporting environments for students who want to secure their degree while still playing sports at the same time. Jayvon admires how they maintain a healthy balance between sports and learning. Looking Ahead As the decision day approaches, Jayvon remains grounded and focused. He constantly involves himself in arduous training, realizing that his journey is just commencing irrespective of where it may possibly lead him. "I appreciate every chance I've had," he declares. "I'm thrilled about where this route may lead me." | 8/23/2024 4:40:31 PM Views: 741
