Ohio State is riding a strong recruiting wave, securing seven new commitments for their 2025 class since early June. Currently, they boast 10 top-100 players according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, with six of them ranked in the top-50 nationally. Head coach Ryan Day and his staff are pleased with their progress so far, but they’re far from finished.

The momentum continued on Tuesday with significant Crystal Ball predictions favoring Ohio State for four-star defensive lineman Maxwell Roy. Previously leaning towards Michigan earlier this month, Roy, ranked No. 19 among defensive linemen and No. 152 overall nationally by 247Sports, recently visited both Ohio State and Michigan. Following his visit to Ann Arbor, industry predictions have shifted overwhelmingly in favor of the Buckeyes. Several prominent analysts, including Michigan insider Sam Webb and On3 RPM’s, have now backed Ohio State.

Hailing from Pennsylvania and playing at St. Joseph’s Prep, the same program as Buckeye commits Marvin Harrison Jr., Kyle McCord, and Isaiah West, Roy holds around 20 offers. He trimmed his list to six schools in February, including Ohio State and Michigan, alongside Duke, Oregon, Rutgers, and Wisconsin.

If Roy chooses Ohio State, it would strengthen an already impressive defensive line class led by coach Larry Johnson, featuring commitments like Zahir Mathis, London Merritt, and the recent addition of Zion Grady. Ohio State remains optimistic about landing Justin Hill and Mariyon Dye, with strong interest from current Auburn commit Malik Autry, who has ties to Grady.

God has blessed me immensely with these opportunities. After much discussion with my family we have decided to narrow the list of prospective college football programs to seven. I will be concentrating on my relationships with these schools moving forward. Thank you & God Bless! pic.twitter.com/uborftpwlN

In another recruiting update, Ohio State received positive news from Maxwell Riley, a top offensive tackle prospect in the 2026 class. Ranked as the No. 6 offensive tackle and No. 35 overall in his class, Riley, from Avon Lake, Ohio, included Ohio State among his final seven schools. He has made multiple visits to Ohio State, demonstrating his strong interest in the program.

Looking ahead, Ohio State continues to pursue five-star offensive tackle David Sanders Jr., competing closely with Tennessee for his commitment. Sanders, ranked as the top offensive tackle and the No. 2 player nationally, would be a significant addition to Ohio State’s already impressive 2025 class.

Additionally, Malik Autry, a highly regarded four-star defensive lineman committed to Auburn, has shown affinity for Ohio State at recent events, influenced by his friendship with new Buckeye commit Zion Grady. Autry, ranked by 247Sports as the No. 4 defensive lineman and No. 29 overall player nationally, adds further intrigue to Ohio State’s recruiting efforts.
