Ohio State offers rising 2026 OT The Buckeyes are off to a fast start recruiting the 2026 recruiting class. With two years of high school football left to play for recruits in this class, Ohio State has already earned a commitment from blue-ship wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. Henry Jr. committed to the Buckeyes on July 28, and the team is hoping to build upon that momentum by offering 2026 offensive tackle Da’Ron Parks (Hurrican, WV / Hurricane) on Monday. Being a member of the 2026 class, Parks has not yet received a star ranking from 247Sports. However, when the rankings are released, expect Parks to be highly regarded. He has built an offer sheet of more than a dozen offers from schools like Alabama, Cincinnati, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Penn State, Virginia, Virginia Tech and now Ohio State. Parks has not yet visited with the Ohio State coaching staff, but being from West Virginia, he is likely very familiar with the Buckeyes. He did take an unofficial visit to Florida State this summer, and it resulted in a scholarship offer. Because of this, the Seminoles could be viewed as early favorites but it is still far to early to tell. Expect the Buckeyes to try and get him on campus multiple times in the coming seasons.
