Ryan Day eyes the opportunity to flip premier commit who is eyeing Ohio State after recent slew of head coach firings

The fourth-highest rated commit in Florida right now, Bronaugh would pair with elite safety prospects Blaine Bradford and Simeon Caldwell, plus corner Jordan Thomas. Ohio State also flipped three-star safety Khmari Bing from Maryland.

Bronaugh would bolster Ohio State's ninth-ranked 2026 recruiting class as the 115th overall prospect and 15th-best corner in 2026. Here's a scouting report from On3's Director of Scouting, Charles Power.

“CJ Bronaugh is one of the fastest prospects in the cycle,” Power wrote. “I think he would contend as the fastest prospect we’ve seen to this point in the cycle, at least among blue-chip types. State champion in the 100 and 200-meters and has already ran a 10.3 time in the 100-meters as a junior. In addition to the high-end speed, he played really well as a junior, came down with six interceptions and looks to have solid size. You look at his elite athleticism, combined with the ball skills, those are attributes we value at the corner position.”
