COLUMBUS — Ohio State signed 11 offensive prospects on Wednesday to put a bow on an impressive top-five recruiting class.
Lettermen Row has gathered the top stats from each of their storied high school careers and put them in one organized place. Let’s see those stats.
Buckeyes QB signee
Air Noland: He completed 66.5 percent of his passes for 2,140 yards and 22 touchdown passes and 9 interceptions as a senior. During his junior year, however, Noland threw for 4,095 yards and 55 touchdown passes, winning a state title at Langston Hughes High School in Georgia. He was the state runner up at quarterback as a sophomore.

Jeremiah Smith: He won three straight state titles at Chaminade-Modonna Prep High School while hauling in more than 1,000 yards in each of his final two years. He caught 88 passes for 1,376 yards and 19 touchdowns as a senior after having 1,098 yards and 20 receiving touchdowns as a junior. All of that helped him become the top-ranked player in the country for his recruiting class.

But his skillset and stats still made him a five-star prospect.
Ohio State running back signees
