It’s time to wake up if you think the top programs in the nation aren’t already working the 2028 recruiting class. The Ohio State Buckeyes are in the mix already with seven offers out to high school sophomores, anticipating the future need at the position after Julian Sayin and Tavien St. Clair depart the program. Their best chance at a blue-chip prospect might be Neimann Lawerence.
The 6-foot dual-threat is the fourth-ranked quarterback in his class and could be the last five-star if the next two years play out as today’s rankings indicate. We have a long way to go until anything is certain, but the Miami, FL, product is making his way to Columbus in Week 1 as the Texas Longhorns come to town.
“I’ve been to multiple Ohio State games, they like to throw the ball a lot and they have a great running game,” he told On3. “That’s an offense that I think will fit me in the future.
“On these game trips I’m paying attention, trying to put myself into the quarterback’s shoes and see if the offense really fits me,” he said. “See what they’re running and if it satisfies me as well. Really looking at the play style.
Lawrence said he’s yet to go to Texas or Georgia, and he wasn’t offered a scholarship when he went to Michigan. That seems like a misstep by Sherrone Moore, as players notice when teams are in their corner from Day 1. That allows Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day to leverage that mistake by the Wolverines.
However, Texas hosted Lawrence for a camp this summer, and he’s keeping close tabs on how Arch Manning does for the Longhorns. He’s hoping the coaches keep contact with him because he “loved” everything about the school.
In the meantime, he’s set to enjoy his visits and focus on developing as much as he can. His head coach was former NFL starting QB Teddy Bridgewater, who was suspended and later left Miami Northwestern after he paid for school lunches.
“We’re going to use it as fuel this season. I’m looking to gain a leadership role on this team and help lead us to another state championship, hopefully a national championship. I’m dialed in.”
