JAVION HILSON PICKS UP AN OHIO STATE OFFER
Ohio State has offered a high-profile defensive end in the 2025 class, as four-star Florida prospect Javion Hilson became the fourth edge prospect the Buckeyes have offered in that cycle thus far Wednesday.

Hilson attends Cocoa High School in Florida and is a former high school teammate with Ohio State safety signee Cedrick Hawkins. Per 247Sports’ composite rankings, Hilson is considered the 69th-best prospect and the 10th-rated edge player in the 2025 class. He’s picked up 12 Division I offers, including Florida Atlantic, Florida State, Indiana, Kentucky, Pittsburgh, UCF and Western Kentucky.

In 12 games last season, Hilson recorded 36 tackles (9 for loss) with 9.5 sacks and nine quarterback hurries with two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

The following day Johnson made a stop at Cocoa High School to offer 6-5, 225-pound defensive end Javion Hilson, another four-star.

Hilson is No. 69 in the 247Sports composite ranking and the No. 10 defensive end in the 2025 class.

He is a long-armed edge with good mobility that can overpower left tackles with a number of moves that the Buckeyes have caught fairly early on in his recruiting process. He currently holds Power 5 offers from Florida State, Kentucky, Indiana and Pitt since his first offer at the beginning of his freshman year.

With an offer in hand, Hilson told 247Sports that he will be to Columbus June 8 to see Ohio State for the first time.

JAVION HILSON COMMITS TO ALABAMA
One of Ohio State’s defensive line targets for the 2025 class is off the board. Four-star pass rusher Javion Hilson committed to the Crimson Tide late Friday night, bolstering Alabama’s 2025 class.

Hilson is the high school teammate of four-star 2025 OSU wide receiver commit Jayvan Boggs, who tried to help peer recruit Hilson to the Buckeyes following his commitment. Unless Hilson has a change of heart, it appears the two teammates will go their separate ways in college.
