Five-star offensive lineman puts Ohio State in trimmed list

Ohio State is continuing to work on adding to the No. 4 ranked class in the country. As June rolls into full swing, the Buckeyes will be hosting some big-time recruits with hopes of gaining more verbal pledges to join the quest to bring a championship to Columbus.

One big name OSU already has a commitment from is Luke Montgomery who is the No. 4 rated tackle in the 2023 class. But the Bucks want more and need more at the tackle position. On Thursday Ryan Day got some good news that five-star prospect Samson Okunlola has put Ohio State on the shortlist.

Here’s what Okunlola had to say about the Buckeyes:

“I like the o-line coach (Justin Frye). He is more on the younger side of o-line coaches but he’s still a great dude. Right now they have a pretty good o-line. They may have room to start at the left tackle, but you have to work for it.”

Joining Ohio State as finalists are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Penn State.
