We are firmly in the dead period of the college football offseason, as the spring transfer portal window has closed and the wave of official visits is quickly approaching.
The Ohio State Buckeyes have done a really good job maximizing their recruiting over the last few months. After a relatively slow start, they have one of the best classes in the nation, ranking third, including second in the Big Ten behind Lincoln Riley and USC.
Kayden Dixon-Wyatt shuts down recruiting
The biggest area where the Buckeyes have had success is at wide receiver. That shouldn't be much of a surprise with Brian Hartline's pedigree and the incredibly successful lineage they have over the last decade plus.
So far in this class, the Buckeyes have four wide receiver commits with five-star Chris Henry Jr. being the crown jewel of the class. They also received a commitment from his teammate Kayden Dixon-Wyatt this past Sunday, nearly a year after Henry gave his. On Friday afternoon, Dixon-Wyatt made it clear that he will be shutting down his recruitment, essentially securing him for the Buckeyes.
It's a relatively big deal for Dixon-Wyatt to shut down his recruitment, especially with what was set to come. Later this month on the 30th, DIxon-Wyatt is set to visit Colombus, but he is also scheduled to visit USC on June sixth and Oregon on June 20th. With his recruitment shutting down, that's a big deal, as either team could have swayed the Mater Dei product.
One thing that was playing in the Buckeyes' favor the entire time was Dixon-Wyatt's teammate in Henry. It makes things a little knowing you are going with your teammate, especially one at the same position. A little element of comfort can do a lot for a recruit.
The Buckeyes are likely done at wide receiver with four recruits at wide receiver, but it's a good haul for the Buckeyes, who will need a fortified wide receiver room.
Ohio State award-winner sets sights on going from undrafted to key piece on Super Bowl contender
The Cincinnati Bengals had a controversial 2025 NFL Draft, but their headlining undrafted free agent signing has been remarkably well-received. The Bengals had a need for a future starting center, so adding the Rimington Award winner from 2024 could be a home run. Ohio State star center Seth McLaughlin bounced back from a disappointing 2023 […]
