It’s early in the recruiting cycle, but the Buckeyes already have a strong 2020 class, which will be Ryan Day’s first complete cycle as the head coach. Already, Ohio State has landed eight commitments and ranks 11th nationally and second in the B1G.
Ohio State has a commitment from one five-star talent, offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr.
