We are well into the 2025 cycle for the Ohio State football recruiting class and the news continues to come and hit furiously as we head toward the season, and ultimately, when most of the pledges will sign on the dotted line Dec. 4.
More than ever though, in the day and age of name, image and likeness licensing, and with the transfer rules being softened, etc., keeping a commitment isn’t as easy as it once was. Coaches have to continue to work on kids to keep them in the fold until that fax hums and the signed letter of intent rolls in. But, hey, the Buckeyes are killing it so far with the nation’s No. 1 class according to almost all recruiting services, so we’ll see if that continues.
Still, we’re keeping track of all of the commitments for the 2025 class as they are made so that you can reference back in a one-stop shop. All recruiting rankings come from the 247Sports composite as we work our way through and add to the list as real time as possible.
Here’s where things stand with the Ohio State football recruiting class for the current cycle.
Tavien St. Claire, Quarterback
