One of the nation’s top linebackers might be looking to head to SEC Country, but there’s 1 school from the B1G in the running for his services.

On Thursday, 4-star linebacker Adarius Hayes announced his top 8 schools he’ll be selecting from as a member of the 2024 recruiting class. Ohio State made the cut as the lone B1G representative. Other schools listed include Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and UCF.

Hayes said did not specify on his post when he would be making his official announcement on where he’ll play soon.

Hayes, a native of Largo, Fla., has been revered for his ability to pass rush as a standup blitzer off the edge. According to 247Sports, he currently is listed as the No. 63 player in the country, the No. 15 player in the state, and the No. 8 edge rusher of the class.

Per 247Sports’ team rankings, the Buckeyes currently have the No. 16 recruiting class for the 2024 cycle. Entering October, Ohio State has only received a commitment from 5-star QB Dylan Raiola of Chandler, Ariz.
