In his first recruiting class at Ohio State, Ryan Day's group of 2020 commitments currently checks in at No. 4 in the country behind only Clemson, LSU, and Alabama. The Buckeyes still have room to add a few more between now and February. And that – along with reaching the college football playoff – remains one of the staff's top priorities.
This likely goes without saying, but any concerns regarding Buckeye recruiting in the post-Urban Meyer world have been put to rest in a very big way.
Ohio State has raised the bar with its defensive back development and has gained the reputation of becoming the new "DBU" with guys like Marshon Lattimore, Malik Hooker, and Denzel Ward all making names for themselves at the professional level.
