Ohio State continues its aggressive pursuit of elite defensive talent, and their latest target is wasting no time showing mutual interest. Just days after receiving an offer from the Buckeyes, a 5-star cornerback has officially locked in plans to visit Columbus.
The highly touted defensive back, considered one of the top players in the 2025 class, has been gaining national attention for his elite speed, lockdown coverage skills, and football IQ. Following his recent offer from Ohio State’s coaching staff, the standout prospect has scheduled an official visit—a clear signal that Ryan Day and secondary coach Tim Walton have made a strong impression.
While the exact date of the visit hasn’t been publicly confirmed, sources indicate it will take place this summer, likely aligning with one of the Buckeyes’ key recruiting weekends. The decision to schedule an official so quickly after the offer suggests Ohio State has surged to the top of the recruit’s list.
The Buckeyes have built a strong reputation as “DBU” in recent years, producing NFL-caliber defensive backs like Marshon Lattimore, Denzel Ward, Jeff Okudah, and most recently, first-round pick Denzel Burke. That history, combined with Ohio State’s playoff-contending pedigree, makes Columbus an attractive destination for elite defensive talent.
As Ohio State continues to stack its 2025 class, landing this 5-star cornerback could prove to be a cornerstone addition. With other top-tier programs also vying for his commitment, the Buckeyes are hoping that this upcoming official visit will solidify their position and potentially set the stage for a commitment down the line.
