Ohio State football isn’t waiting around to offer current high school prospects, and it has shown that over the last few day.
The Buckeyes have send out multiple offers out to different classes, with the main focus being on the 2027 cycle. Obviously it’s very early in for that group, but Ohio State has most likely recently done its evaluations.
The result of those meant that the Buckeye coaching staff was ready to let each of those prospects know they are wanted in Columbus. Find out below each of the newest offers that Ohio State football has made over the past few days.
(Note: All recruiting rankings are according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.)
2026 Texas linebacker Jamarion Phillips
A bit on the smaller side for a linebacker at 6-foot and 220-pounds, Phillips is ranked as the No. 428th overall player and 32nd at his position.
2028 Florida wide receiver Eric McFarland
A super early offer for McFarland, whose frame at the moment fits more of a slot at 5-foot, 8-inches and 170-pounds. There is plenty of time for him to grow and this isn’t his first big offer as the Buckeyes joined Washington in offering with Florida State following Ohio State. He’s not currently ranked.
2025 Mississippi offensive lineman Mario Nash Jr.
Projected as an interior player, Nash Jr. stands 6-foot, 4-inches and weighs 270-pounds. He’s the nations No. 310 overall player and 19th interior offensive lineman. The offer has given Nash Jr. plenty to think about as he is trying to make a visit to Columbus in the near future.
2026 Georgia tight end Heze Kent
Kent is a huge tight end, standing 6-foot, 5-inches and weighing 250-pounds. He’s the nations No. 146 overall player and 7th ranked player at his position in his class.
2027 Texas linebacker Braylon Williams
It’s very early for his class, so Williams isn’t currently ranked, but expect the 6-foot and 205-pounder to be when his class gets an update.
2026 Florida athlete Naeem Burroughs
One of his classes most impressive players, Burroughs is the nations No. 87 overall prospect and 10th ranked wide receiver. At 5-foot, 11-inches and 160-pounds, he’s more likely a slot receiver.
2027 Georgia running back Amarri Irvin
The young back stands 6-feet and weighs 195-pounds while being unranked at the moment. That will change in the future considering his offer list is very impressive for the rising sophom*ore.
2026 Alabama athlete Anthony Jones
Jones is viewed as the top edge rusher in his class and No. 5 overall prospect. At 6-foot, 4-inches and 240-pounds, he fits to mold to be an elite pass rusher.
2027 Alabama linebacker Ellis McGaskin
At 6-foot, 1-inch and 190-pounds, McGaskin will be a nationally recruited prospect, even if he isn’t ranked right now. Ohio State was smart to jump on the offer early.
