Four-star 2026 Ohio Cornerback Jakob Weatherspoon Enjoys Another Trip to Columbus, Says Ohio State is Contact with Him More Than Any Other Team

Ohio State may not have hosted a large, all-encompassing recruiting event this week, but that didn’t stop a few key in-state cornerback prospects in the 2026 class from making a trip to Columbus on Thursday.

Five-star prospect Elbert Hill and four-star defensive back Jakob Weatherspoon both made the trek to OSU and watched the Buckeyes participate in summer workouts, then had meetings with a few Ohio State coaches.

In the case of Weatherspoon, he came to campus with his father and brother for what he estimated was either his fifth or sixth time on Ohio State’s campus.
