Buckeyes commits highlight new On300 rankings release

COLUMBUS — Ohio State boasts plenty of talent in its 2023 haul. That class is receiving plenty of recognition.

In the newest On300, the Buckeyes have 14 commits on the list, and plenty of uncommitted top prospects that coach Ryan Day and company are after are also on the list.

There was some fluidity to Ohio State’s 2023 commits and their positioning on the list. The list, which was released Monday morning, is highlighted by wide receiver Noah Rogers‘ promotion to five-star status and four-star cornerback Jermaine Mathews making the list for the first time.

Lettermen Row is breaking down all 14 future Buckeyes and where they sit on the latest edition.
