The Ohio State Buckeyes are turning up the heat on the recruiting trail during the offseason, and that paid off this weekend when five-star QB Tate Martell, the top-ranked dual-threat quarterback in the country, announced his commitment to OSU. Here's all the latest news and rumors surrounding Ohio State's recruiting efforts:
Two top targets cancel Ohio State visit
The Buckeyes are slated to have a number of prospects on campus this weekend, but two of their top targets have canceled their trip. Five-star defensive tackle Marvin Wilson and four-star offensive tackle Walker Little, two teammates at Episcopal High School in Bellaire, TX, are going to make a two-day visit to Florida State this weekend instead.
Wilson is ranked as the No. 1 defensive tackle and No. 3 overall prospect in the country, while Little is ranked at the No. 12 offensive tackle and No. 64 overall prospect in the country.
Buckeyes offer 2018 DB
2018 four-star cornerback Houston Griffith (Chicago, IL) attended the Sound Mind-Sound Body camp in Detroit last Thursday, and he performed so well that they offered Griffith a scholarship.
"Coach Meyer said that I had been high on their list, that the staff had been pushing him to offer me, but after seeing me in action at Sound Mind-Sound Body, he was 'ready to get in the game'," he told 247sports. "Coach Coombs says that he sees me as a corner and that he's looking forward to getting me back on campus to spend more time with the DBs and getting to know the program better. They both said they're going to recruit me hard.
"Coach Meyer and his staff showed me that I'm a priority. That's important to me. I'll be visiting again [this summer]. I would say Ohio State will be in the mix when I make my final decision."
Griffith says he's in no rush to make a decision, and is also considering Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame, Michigan and Penn State, among others. He is ranked as the No. 7 cornerback and No. 72 overall prospect in the country.
