Ohio State Buckeyes Eye Four-Star OL as They Build for 2026
Fresh off a national championship, the Ohio State Buckeyes are proving once again why they remain at the top of the college football world. While their latest title run was fueled by elite talent—both from recruiting and the transfer portal—head coach Ryan Day and his staff are already looking ahead to the future.
Ohio State’s recruiting dominance has been the backbone of its success, and despite losing several key players to the NFL Draft this spring, the Buckeyes are well-positioned for continued excellence. The 2025 class is already loaded with high-end talent, and the program is now turning its attention to 2026, where a major target is emerging.
Four-star offensive lineman Adam Guthrie has announced he will take an official visit to Columbus on June 6, according to Eleven Warriors. Guthrie, an Ohio native, received an offer from the Buckeyes back in October, and his recruitment is heating up.
While Ohio State’s home-state advantage could work in its favor, Eleven Warriors notes that Clemson is currently viewed as the frontrunner to land Guthrie. That said, the Buckeyes will have their shot to change the narrative when he steps on campus this summer.
As Ohio State continues to reload for the future, Guthrie could be a key addition to a program that thrives in the trenches. Whether the Buckeyes can fend off Clemson and secure the talented lineman remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—the reigning national champions aren’t slowing down on the recruiting trail.
