Ohio State’s recruiting class of 2018 was the highest-rated recruiting class in school history at the time. It didn’t produce as many stars as expected.
Among the 26 scholarship players in Ohio State’s 2018 recruiting class, only six of them became NFL draft picks.
The class included three composite five-star prospects and 20 four-star prospects, yet the only superstar of the class was three-star wide receiver Chris Olave. Despite being ranked as only the No. 399 overall prospect in the class, Olave went on to become one of the best wide receivers in school history, making a school-record 35 touchdown catches, earning first-team All-Big Ten honors twice and first-team All-American honors once.
