Four-star 2026 OL Ekene Ogboko Schedules an Official Visit with Ohio State, DL Tyson Bacon Decommits from Tennessee and Visits OSU, Buckeyes Offer Two New DL

A top offensive lineman in the 2026 class has scheduled an official visit with Ohio State.

Four-star North Carolina prospect Ekene Ogboko will take official visits to Clemson on May 30, Georgia on June 6, OSU on June 13, Notre Dame on June 20 and LSU at a date to be determined.

Per 247Sports’ composite rankings, Ogboko is considered the No. 65 prospect and No. 5 interior offensive lineman in the 2026 cycle. The 6-foot-6, 280-pound prospect started at left tackle last season for his high school, but also played defensive line as well.

He’s one of the Buckeyes’ top remaining targets at interior offensive line in this class, alongside Darius Gray and Drew Evers.
