Younger brother of five-star Buckeye eyes reuniting at Ohio State as his own recruitment process heats up this fall

The Ohio State Buckeyes already added five-star wide receiver Quincy Porter this past recruiting cycle, and now WRU is looking to add his younger brother in 2027. While Quincy Porter’s addition was surprisingly under-the-radar since his recruitment was straightforward and drama-free, Penn State has no interest in allowing Bryan Porter to waltz to Columbus when it’s time to commit.
The Buckeyes recently offered the 6-foot, 190-pounder from New Jersey, giving a scholarship in June. Both parties want Porter to attend a game this fall, and it shouldn’t be too difficult to make that happen. Porter will be at Penn State at the end of September when Oregon comes to Happy Valley, so Ohio State could up the ante and have Porter come when Penn State visits them.
It’s not hard to see what the Buckeyes can give Porter on top of playing with his older brother. Here’s what he said this summer after earning that offer at the Buckeyes’ camp.
“It was good,” he said of the camp. “Working with Coach Hartline was amazing. I learned a lot from him. I earned an offer from Ohio State. They stand high for me…
They just won a National Championship and they have an amazing record of the wide receivers getting drafted,” Porter said.
Of course, he likes that he could pair with his brother and potentially be on the field at the same time on gameday, and learn from a familiar face.
“Having him there, he’d get to teach me new things,” the younger Porter said. “He’s told me that is a great, hard-working experience up there.”
There’s plenty of time left in this race to introduce new challengers or unexpected turns. Lead Ohio State recruiter and offensive coordinator Brian Hartline usually gets his man, but will he even remain in place through the 2026 season, or will he be the head coach elsewhere? Quincy Porter could also look elsewhere if he doesn’t see the field as much as he’d like by the time Bryan is a freshman.
At best, all goes as planned, and the Buckeyes get a dynamic pair of Porters. But it doesn’t always go in a fairy tale direction. We’ll be monitoring and reporting on both Porters as time continues.
