The Ohio State Buckeyes currently have 13 commitments in their 2026 recruiting class, which is ranked No. 3 in the country, according to 247Sports.

Ohio State’s class has gained serious momentum over the past two months, and the next month is shaping up to be just as important.

The Buckeyes already have three offensive line commitments in the class, and that number is expected to grow.

2026 OL Drew Evers includes the Buckeyes in his top six schools

Ohio State is firmly in the mix for four-star interior offensive lineman Drew Evers from Flower Mound (TX). The Buckeyes are joined in his top six by Penn State, SMU, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and LSU.

Evers is ranked as the No. 13 interior offensive lineman and the No. 208 overall player in the country, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. He also ranks as the No. 27 player in the state of Texas. The 6-foot-4, 285-pound prospect holds nearly 40 offers.

Ohio State is set to host Evers for an official visit on June 6, and he will visit Penn State the following weekend. Offensive line coach Tyler Bowen is making a strong push to land Evers as part of the Buckeyes’ 2026 class. Ohio State is off to a strong class with the offensive line led by in-state recruits Maxwell Riley and Sam Greer.

It’s worth noting that Drew’s brother, Nick Evers, originally committed to Oklahoma out of high school before transferring to UConn. Ohio State remains a serious contender in Drew’s recruitment, and his upcoming official visit could be a pivotal moment.
