The 2018 Ohio State recruiting class is currently ranked as the second best in the country. It is also on pace to break the record for the best player average set by the Buckeyes in the 2017 class. This in large part due to the number of outstanding defensive players who have committed so far.
The two most recent players to commit to the 2018 Ohio State recruiting class were defensive end Andrew Chatfield and linebacker Teradja Mitchell. This gives the Buckeyes eight defensive players among the 12 commits.
They certainly are an impressive bunch. Here is a list of the players, their position and national rankings according to the 247Sports Composite.
