Recruits in the class of 2026 have recently been putting together their summer plans of visits, and the Ohio State Buckeyes have been a program that has been mentioned frequently.
Ohio State, coming off a National Championship, will be one of the more popular stops for recruits this spring and summer.
The Buckeyes have four commitments so far for the class of 2026 after bringing in another top-five class for 2025. Ohio State’s highest-rated commit is WR Chris Henry Jr., who is the No. 1 player in the country at his position. However, Ohio State is very interested in Henry’s high school teammate at Mater Dei in California and it is mutual.
Kayden Dixon-Wyatt is a 6-foot-2, 180-pound wide receiver who is a four-star player ranked No. 151 in the country, according to 247 Sports Composite. Dixon-Wyatt is set to take an official visit to Columbus on May 31, and it will be one of five official visits that he has scheduled.
Dixon-Wyatt will start his visits by being in Alabama on May 16. The weekend after visiting Ohio State, the talented wide receiver will visit USC. After that, Dixon-Wyatt is seeing Texas and Oregon in June. USC and Oregon are two Big Ten programs that could have a higher chance of landing Dixon-Wyatt because of their location.
“Prototype WR in terms of his size and athleticism. Has a strong 6-3, 185-pound frame and plays a physical game. Can bully opposing corners who try and press him and is a willing blocker. Has strong hands and dominates 50-50 balls and catches the ball well through contact. For his size, has some wiggle to him and is surprisingly shifty after the catch. Runs well and can make plays down the field in the vertical passing game. Tough to stop in red zone situations and should be a tough matchup in the red zone. Has a nice edge in his game and always competes at a high level.” — Greg Biggins, 247 Sports
Ohio State will undoubtedly have Henry Jr. recruiting his teammate to continue at the next level with him. That counts for something in recruiting, but Ohio State’s best chance to land another talented wideout will come when he makes his OV.
Expect the class of 2026 to start to take shape as we get into the spring months here shortly and out of the dead period.
