2025 Ohio State QB commit Tavien St. Clair jumps in On300 recruiting rankings

When Bellefontaine (Ohio) quarterback Tavien St. Clair committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes back in June, he was already considered a talented signal-caller among the 2025 recruiting class.

St. Clair ranked No. 299 overall and as the No. 23 quarterback in the On300 recruiting ranking when he committed to the Buckeyes. He was also rated as the 9th-best player in Ohio.

Now entering the final week of the Ohio high school football regular season, St. Clair has completed 70% of his passes for 1,977 yards and 23 touchdowns with just four interceptions. He also averages roughly 30 rushing yards per game and has scored four times on the ground.

With that impressive season nearing a close, St. Clair has seen a massive bump in the updated 2025 On300. He now ranks as the No. 12 overall prospect, No. 2 quarterback and No. 1 player in Ohio.

St. Clair headlines the 2025 Ohio State recruiting class which also includes Baltimore St. Frances Academy four-star cornerback Blake Woodby and Cocoa (Fla.) four-star wide receiver Jayvan Boggs.

“It started out pretty slow by just introducing ourselves but now I feel like I can talk to them like my high school coach,” St. Clair told Lettermen Row. “We are just comfortable around each other now so I think that’s probably the biggest growth.”

Tavien St. Clair Scouting Summary

On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power writes this about St. Clair as a prospect:

“Pure passer with prototypical physical tools that point to one of the higher developmental upsides among quarterbacks in the 2025 cycle. Measured in at 6-foot-3.5, 210 pounds with a 9.5-inch hand prior to his junior season. Made a considerable jump in development during the off-season between his sophomore and junior years. Has smooth and tight mechanics as a passer. Touts a quick release that is easily replicable. Consistently throws a tight spiral.

“Mechanical foundation makes him a naturally accurate passer. Off to a strong start to his junior season. Doubles as a solid runner who can pick up yards with his legs when called upon. Functional mobility gives him the ability to extend plays. A three-sport athlete, also playing basketball and baseball. Shows above-the-rim bounce on the hardwood. The degree of improvement from his sophomore to junior years is indicative of an ascending prospect.”
