When looking back at the past two Ohio State football recruiting classes, there is a major need for defensive lineman.
The Buckeyes signed just two during this past early period, but there are potentially still a few that may be added. Regardless of the outcome of the uncommitted targets, Ohio State still needs to bring in multiple high-end lineman in the 2025 class.
One of those targets is Illinois pass rusher Christopher Burgess, will make his choice on January 6th, selecting from the Buckeyes, Notre Dame, Michigan and Alabama. At 6-foot, 4-inches and 240-pounds, he fits the mold of an impact player at the position that Ohio State needs.
