The expectations were sky-high when Ohio State’s 2021 recruiting class arrived in Columbus.
Ohio State’s 2021 class was and still is its highest-rated recruiting class of all-time. Led by seven composite five-star recruits – Quinn Ewers, JT Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Emeka Egbuka, Donovan Jackson, TreVeyon Henderson and Kyle McCord – the 2021 class was expected to not only keep the Buckeyes’ dominance over Michigan and in the Big Ten going, but bring at least one national championship to Columbus.
“The direction of our program just continues to keep getting better and better,” Sawyer told Eleven Warriors in January 2021.
