The Ohio State Buckeyes’ 2027 recruiting class is in a solid spot with 13 commitments. Ohio State still has multiple of its top targets on the board that they’re trying to land. The next couple of months will be pivotal in what things look like in the end for the Buckeye. 

It hasn’t been all sunshine and roses for Ohio State in 2027 — it never is. Ohio State has missed on several of their targets, but the latest noise makes it sound like they’ll be doubling back in a big way for one of them. 

Ohio State QB commit Brady Edmunds reveals the player who’ll end up signing with the Buckeyes 

The Buckeyes don’t yet have a tight end committed for the class of 2027, which will change at some point. When four-star Libertyville (Ill) TE Brock Williams committed to Texas, it was a miss for tight ends coach Keenan Bailey for the Buckeyes. Ohio State recruited Williams hard until close to his commitment to Texas on May 15 when it was clear he was trending toward the Longhorns.

Ohio State’s 2027 QB commit believes the Buckeyes will end up getting the elite tight end recruit. 

“Brock Williams is going to flip from Texas to Ohio State on Signing Day,” Edmunds said via 247 Sports. 

Edmunds has long been a recruiter for the Buckeyes since he committed in December of 2024. Even as his commitment to Ohio State feels a bit rocky, he’s clearly still trying to lure elite talent with him to Columbus, which may say something about where things really stand with him.  

According to 247 Sports Composite, Williams is the No. 4 tight end and No. 79 overall player in the class of 2027. Ohio State, Texas, and Alabama were all amongst the top schools for Williams — but he ended up selecting the Longhorns. 

Ohio State will keep trying to flip Williams until the pen hits the paper, and Edmunds believes they eventually will. There’s no doubt the Ohio State QB commit wants to be throwing to Williams in the future, we’ll see if what he said becomes reality down the road.
