The Ohio State football program received great news on the recruiting trail Saturday when four-star quarterback Air Noland announced his commitment to the Buckeyes on Saturday evening.
Out of Langston Hughes High School in Fairburn, Georgia, Noland is ranked as the No. 8 quarterback and 84th overall prospect in the 2024 class according to the 247Sports composite. He may not be technically a five-star prospect (at least not yet), but he has a quick release and excellent athleticism that he displayed against good competition through his junior year in a state known for football talent. All of that should translate well to the next level.

If you have any doubt about what kind of ceiling many believe Noland has, all you have to do is look at the programs the 6-foot, 3-inch southpaw had offers from. He chose the Buckeyes over Alabama, Clemson, Arkansas, Miami (FL), Oregon and Texas A&M.
