Lettermen Row 2023 National Signing Day HQ

Welcome to National Signing Day at Lettermen Row. Ohio State is expected to sign the entirety of its 2023 class starting today, Dec. 21, as the Early Signing Period has begun. This page will have live updates throughout the day and links to every prospect that has sent in their National Letter of Intent.

COLUMBUS — Ohio State welcomes at the very least 20 new faces to its program on Dec. 21, the opening day of the early signing period.

The Buckeyes open the day with the fourth-ranked class according to On3 with an average score of 93.167. The class’s average player rating, however, is 92.64, which only trails Alabama.

Ohio State coach Ryan Day looks to bring in another top-five recruiting class when it is all said and done. Should he complete the class and it sticks inside the top five, this will be Day’s fourth top-five class. The 2022, 2021 and 2020 classes all were inside the top five nationally.

The Buckeyes are once again poised to win the Big Ten recruiting crown, their 12th in 13 seasons.

Lettermen Row has complete and full coverage of the early signing period as Ohio State looks to close out another successful cycle.
