COLUMBUS — Ohio State Offensive line coach Tyler Bowen has landed his second commitment in as many days.

2026 Phoenix (Ariz.) Sandra Day O’Conner offensive lineman Tucker Smith has committed to the Buckeyes. The 6-foot-5, 280-pound Smith chose Ohio State over offers from Arizona State, Arkansas, Minnesota, USC and Washington. The Trojans were considered the team to beat on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine

Smith is the seventh commitment for Ryan Day and Ohio State in the 2026 class. He joins a class that includes just two out-of-state commitments from Five-Star Plus+ Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei wide receiver Chris Henry Jr., four-star Jacksonville (Fla.) The Bolles School and tight end Corbyn Fordham.

The Buckeyes already have four-star Akron (Ohio) Archbishop Hoban offensive lineman Sam Greer, four-star Avon Lake (Ohio) interior offensive lineman Max Riley, four-star Avon (Ohio) cornerback Jakob Weatherspoon and three-star Pataskala (Ohio) Watkins Memorial wide receiver Jaeden Ricketts committed from Ohio.
