There have been 18 five-star running backs dating back to the Class of 2016. None of them have signed with Ohio State.
Tony Alford was officially named as Ohio State's running backs coach back in February of 2015. He's now working on his fifth full recruiting class, and all eyes may very well be on him as the Buckeyes look to put the finishing touches on the Class of 2020.
Ryan Day is in a position where the class is going to be nearly complete before the upcoming season even kicks off. The Buckeyes have 22 commitments in the fold and are expected to land another five or six more before February of next year.
