Ohio State Football: Defensive recruiting should heat up this summer

The Ohio State football program got a nice recruiting win yesterday when Jaylen McClain, a four-star safety from New Jersey, committed to the Buckeyes. McClain is the 14th member of the Ohio State 2024 class and is the third defensive player to commit. However, we should start to see things roll this summer on the defensive side of the ball.

Top on that list is five-star edge rusher and top-10 national player Elijah Rushing of Tuscon, Arizona. The Buckeyes are squarely in the mix for Rushing as is he due for an Ohio State official visit this summer.
