Ohio State Buckeyes
Ohio State’s pursuit of top talent in the 2025 recruiting class continues to bear fruit as Quincy Porter, a promising four-star wide receiver from New Jersey, commits to the Buckeyes. Following a successful official visit, Porter joins fellow standout De’Zie Jones in bolstering Brian Hartline’s receiving corps. With two spots left to fill, Hartline is strategically eyeing other top prospects, including Dakorian Moore, Vernell Brown III, Daylan McCutcheon, and Phillip Bell, all of whom are actively considering Ohio State.
Moore, ranked as the nation’s top wide receiver, presents a prime opportunity for Hartline to secure a five-star recruit amid stiff competition. Brown and McCutcheon offer geographic challenges, with Hartline aiming to lure them away from their regional preferences. Bell, showing flexibility with his official visit schedule, signals strong interest in joining Ohio State from California.

The 2025 recruiting cycle shapes up as pivotal for Hartline, who has already secured commitments for 2026, including top prospect Chris Henry Jr. Despite uncertainties, such as the class potentially mirroring the developmental nature of the 2022 cohort, Porter’s commitment highlights the Buckeyes’ ongoing ability to attract top-tier talent.
Porter’s attributes, including his 6-foot-3 frame and versatility, akin to Ohio State’s past successes with receivers like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jeremiah Smith, promise to enhance the team’s offensive firepower. As Ohio State continues to shape its future, Porter’s decision marks a strategic move that sets the stage for an intriguing recruiting finish leading up to Signing Day.
Moreover, by announcing his decision on June 14, Porter unwittingly outmaneuvered rival Michigan’s plans, underscoring Ohio State’s competitive edge in the recruiting arena.
