The Ohio State Buckeyes may have lost some 2025 recruiting battles to the Oregon Ducks, but Ryan Day left the field after a 41-21 blowout with more support than he could've managed. Several Ohio State commitments commented on the Buckeyes' dominant showing at the Rose Bowl after seeing the beatdown.

Here are what the highest commits said to On3:

---

• Five-Star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr.: “Ohio State’s win over Oregon in the Rose Bowl was a big statement, showing their talent and resilience. It was a solid all-around performance for sure. I can’t wait to be a Buckeye!!”
• Four-star tight end Corbyn Fordham: “Was a great team win just shows me how good of coaches and a culture between these players.”
• 2027 Four-star quarterback Brady Edmunds: “Huge!!! When osu plays like this they’re the best team in the nation by far.”
• 2027 Four-star wide receiver Jamier Brown: “Man they came out and didn’t play at all. They started off so well and both sides of the ball did their jobs great and obviously they came out with the win and they didn’t waste the second chance they got with Oregon because you never really get a chance to play a team twice but we did and we took advantage of that!!!”
