Once again, it seems like we are a reporting broken record regarding Ohio State secondary recruiting. But after this past season, the need to add depth to the position to combat injuries and transfers continually rears its ugly head.
The corners struggled to stay on the field, and when they played the results were so-so at best. As a group, they didn’t record an interception all season. Buckeye cornerbacks coach Tim Walton needs his position room to excel and that starts with players he and head coach Ryan Day can recruit to campus.

That information was enough for two of 247Sports recruiting experts, Blair Angulo and Bill Kurelic, to put in crystal ball picks for Lockhart to end up committing to Ohio State.

It’s not a coincidence Lockhart is wearing an Ohio State headband while hoisting his state championship trophy.

If everything plays out the way the experts think it will, expect Lockhart to end up in the 2024 Buckeyes recruiting class.
