A-Deck: Inside scoop on Ohio State working to flip an Alabama commit and making moves for other top targets

Welcome to “A-Deck” at Lettermen Row, where I’ll bring you inside scoop, what I’m hearing, tidbits, thoughts, and more on Ohio State recruiting and team coverage every week. Last week’s A-Deck provided a preview of the visitors expected for the Purdue game, and where things stood with the Buckeyes. In this week’s edition, I share inside scoop coming out of many of those visits, including where things stand for Ohio State and an Alabama commit, making moves for top 2026 targets, and more.
