The search is over.
Ever since Ty Lockwood committed to Ohio State last August, the Buckeyes have been searching for another tight end to pair alongside him in their 2023 cycle. OSU landed its top remaining priority target when Jelani Thurman committed to Ohio State on Sunday.
Thurman became OSU’s second and final tight end of the current class and the 19th commit in total. He’s ranked as the 135th-best player and ninth-best tight end in the 2023 class, per 247Sports’ composite rankings.
The Georgia prospect was first offered by the Buckeyes in February, then made his first visit to Columbus on April 16 for Ohio State’s spring game.
