4-star IOL Jayvon McFadden commits to Ohio State Buckeyes

Upper Marlboro (Md.) Riverdale Baptist four-star interior offensive lineman Jayvon McFadden has committed to Ohio State.

McFadden has visited Columbus multiple times, including for an official visit the weekend of June 7.

“Columbus was good, man,” McFadden told Lettermen Row. “It’s always good to get down there and just feel the vibe with Coach Day and Coach Frye. But this right here, this was probably my best one yet.

“This one right here, it kind of just let me know exactly how they feel about me. And how I fit the system at Ohio State.”

McFadden’s official visit also gave his family the opportunity to see Ohio State and they enjoyed the visit as well.

“It was great, man. I couldn’t even really put it into words. The energy was there and it was just an overall good visit. My family liked it. It was an overall good visit for us.”

“It was just about how Coach Day and Coach Frye made me feel like I’m a priority for Ohio State. They want me there and they don’t want me anywhere else.”

McFadden is the nation’s No. 378 overall prospect, No. No. 28 IOL and No. 10 recruit from Maryland in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
