Report: Ohio State losing out on two elite RB recruits for 2020
Published:
Today is Sunday.
Sunday is a good day for recruiting. Actually, so are the other six days as well. Recruiting never stops.
On Sunday, reports came out on the recruiting front that were not good for Ohio State. A 5-star RB in Bijan Robinson has reportedly told the Buckeyes that he is looking elsewhere after previously being considered a near lock for the scarlet and gray.

Robinson is the No. 3 RB for the Class of 2020 and missing out on his commitment has to be seen as a loss. But, it’s not just Robinson that Ohio State may be missing out on for 2020.
A 4-star RB in Jaylan Knighton — who ranks No. 94 overall in his class, is feared to be heading to Florida State after he attended the Seminoles’ SNL recruiting event. Both Robinson and Knighton are announcing their commitments within the next week.
Ohio State’s 2020 class currently ranks No. 4 overall and No. 1 in the Big Ten with its 22 members. The Buckeyes aren’t exactly hurting for talent.
However, Ohio State has not yet signed a RB for the 2020 class.
