Ohio State Buckeyes football continues its strong presence on the recruiting front, securing the top-ranked class for 2025, as per the On3 Industry rankings.

Looking ahead to the 2026 class, the Buckeyes maintain their momentum with an early commitment from five-star wide receiver, Chris Henry Jr., who pledged his allegiance last July.

Since the culmination of the 2023 season, Ohio State has been actively extending offers to prospective recruits for the 2026 cycle. Among these offers is one recently presented to Jordan Thomas, a standout talent from Bergen Catholic High School in New Jersey.

Thomas, a versatile athlete standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 175 pounds, showcases his skills on both sides of the ball as a defensive back and wide receiver.

Regarded as a four-star prospect by prominent recruiting platforms such as 247Sports and Rivals, Thomas is widely recognized as one of the top players in New Jersey.

With the Ohio State Buckeyes’ offer, Thomas’s list of suitors now extends to 24 programs, including notable institutions like Penn State, Notre Dame, Miami, Michigan, and Florida, among others.
