Photos: Ohio State hosted several highly-touted prospects, commits for the win over Indiana
COLUMBUS — Ohio State dominated Indiana on Saturday in a top-five matchup. The Buckeyes beat the Hoosiers 38-15 and moved one step closer to clinching a spot in the Big Ten Championship game in December.
The Buckeyes shined in front of several commits and targets.
Five-Star Plus+ Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day School offensive tackle and Tennessee commit David Sanders Jr. made a surprise visit to Ohio State on Saturday. The Buckeyes are working to flip Sanders from the Volunteers.
Ohio State also hosted two official visitors and both are flip targets. Three-star Cartersville (Ga.) cornerback and Cincinnati commit Jordyn Woods and three-star Gaithersburg (Md.) Quince Orchard cornerback and Michigan State commit Aydan West were both in Columbus this weekend.
Those three flip targets got to spend time around several future Buckeyes in the 2025 class as well. Ohio State commits Tavien St. Clair, Bo Jackson, Phillip Bell, Brody Lennon, Jake Cook, Carter Lowe, Eli Lee and Cody Haddad were all back on campus.

It wasn’t just commits who filled the Horseshoe, however. Some big top targets in the 2026 cycle were on campus as well.
Five-star Lawrenceville (Ga.) Grayson linebacker Tyler Atkinson and Four-star Baton Rouge (La.) Catholic safety Blaine Bradford, the No. 1 safety in the On3 Industry Rankings, were the headliners. Four-star Fort Pierce (Fla.) Vero Beach offensive tackle Micah Smith was another top target inside Ohio Stadium on Saturday.
The Buckeyes also had a few top in-state targets back in town. Four-star Cleveland (Ohio) Glenville linebacker Cincere Johnson and four-star Avon (Ohio) athlete Jakob Weatherspoon are both in the ‘Shoe as well.
