Ohio State misses out on 2024 Florida defensive tackle

Although Florida defensive tackle Jayden Jackson wasn’t one of the bigger names to officially visit Ohio State on the weekend of June 9th, he surely was one of the biggest bodies.

That recruiting weekend saw multiple commits on campus, with an intent to help recruit other future Buckeyes. Unfortunately, the 6-foot, 2-inch and 300 pound Jackson ended up selecting Oklahoma on Thursday afternoon.

An attempt by the Ohio State coaching staff to find another interior defensive lineman to pair with 5-star Justin Scott came up short. There are other prospects still considering the Buckeyes, but it would have been nice to see a natural tackle like Jackson join the fold.

The Buckeyes will now turn their focus towards D’antre Robinson, who has set to commit in just over a week from today. There aren’t many other true defensive tackles that Ohio State is after, but with Scott in the fold, they have an elite one on the way.
