OSU's 2023 recruiting class now up to No. 5 in the country after landing Devin Royal. Washington, Royal and Parks are the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 5 recruits in Ohio, respectively.

That class rank will only improve if Scotty Middleton (No. 34 overall) chooses OSU on Saturday. pic.twitter.com/k1T0I8hvIv

Ohio State’s recruiting class this season and next (composite ranking in parentheses):

2022:

Roddy Gayle: 45
Bruce Thornton: 46
Felix Okpara: 61
Brice Sensabaugh: 64

2023 (so far):

Scottie Middleton: 34
George Washington III: 60
Devin Royal: 73
Austin Parks: 105

 

Middleton's commitment improves Ohio State's 2023 class rank from No. 5 to No. 3 in the country, behind only Duke and Kentucky.

Four four-star commits for the Buckeyes, and all among the top 105 players in the country.
