When Urban Meyer was hired in the fall of 2012, he elevated Ohio State's recruiting to a level it had never been before.
The Buckeyes were a force on the recruiting trail with Jim Tressel at the helm, but it kicked into high gear with Meyer. From 2012-2018, just one class ranked outside the top five (2015), and not once did the Buckeyes finish without the best class in the Big Ten.
