Elite Recruiting Keeps Ohio State at the Top of College Football

J.T. Tuimoloau put up six tackles, two sacks and two interceptions in Ohio State's win over Penn State in Beaver Stadium.

One of the biggest reasons why Ohio State can go toe-to-toe with the Alabamas, Georgias and Clemsons of college football is that the Buckeyes have jut as much recruiting reach as they do. Ryan Day and his staff can go anywhere they need to go to land elite talent.

Latest vivid example of that was the wreckage Seattle product J.T. Tuimoloau left in Beaver Stadium on Saturday. The defensive end produced a stat line even Chase Young and the Bosa brothers couldn’t touch during their Ohio State tenures: six tackles, two sacks, three tackles for loss, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a pass broken up.
