Ohio State continues to impress on the recruiting trail. 

Justice Haynes, the 5-foot-10, 185-pound RB out of Roswell, Georgia, was impressed with what he saw over the summer when he traveled to Columbus, OH.

“Ohio State is different,” Haynes told On3 Recruiting. “They don’t tell you how great you are, but they tell you what you need to improve on.”

Haynes is a 4-star RB, the No.71 overall player, and the No.4 RB in 2023. Haynes has offers from Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Penn State, Michigan and many more offers from Power 5 programs.

Ohio State has had many talented running backs who are now in the NFL, and some are among the NFL’s best to offer. Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys, J.K. Dobbins Baltimore Ravens and Trey Sermon San Francisco 49ers.

Ohio State’s current RB 5-foot-11, 225-pound Master Teague has rushed for 1,409 yards on 5.5 yards per carry and 13 touchdowns. He has contributed to the passing game as he has had 9 receptions for 106 yards in his three years at Ohio State.

On the same roster, Ohio State has 5-star freshman RB 5-foot-11, 195-pound TreVeyon Henderson, who was the No. 23 nationally ranked player in 2021 and the No. 1 RB in the class of 2021.

Ohio State continues to stockpile and reload every recruiting cycle as they look to capture their ninth national title and their first since 2014.
