Four-Star Defensive End Zahir Mathis, the No. 67 Overall Prospect in the 2025 Class, Decommits From Ohio State

Zahir Mathis has decommitted from Ohio State.

Mathis announced Monday that he has reopened his recruitment. The four-star defensive end and No. 67 overall recruit in the 2025 class had been committed to the Buckeyes since Jan. 10 and still considers Ohio State “a top school“ in his recruitment.

After much consideration Ive decided to reopen my recruitment and decommit from Ohio State. I appreciate Coach Day, Coach Johnson and all the coaches at Ohio State. They are still a top school for me. This is a life decision. Please respect my decision!
