Ohio State wastes no time to schedule visit after star playmaker decommits from Big Ten rival
When Ohio State offensive coordinator and ace recruiter Brian Hartline sets his eyes on a target, he wastes little time and energy engaging in pursuit. Even with the 2026 recruiting class already boasting five-star Chris Henry Jr. and four-star Jaeden Ricketts as headlining receiving additions, Hartline wants to poach a rival's former commitment.

When Ohio State offensive coordinator and ace recruiter Brian Hartline sets his eyes on a target, he wastes little time and energy engaging in pursuit. Even with the 2026 recruiting class already boasting five-star Chris Henry Jr. and four-star Jaeden Ricketts as headlining receiving additions, Hartline wants to poach a rival's former commitment.
Less than one month after Jerquaden Guilford decommitted from Penn State, the Buckeyes have scheduled an official visit with the 3-star playmaker. Guilford announced on Twitter that he'll be on campus from June 20-22.
The Indiana native is 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, fitting the mold of bigger receivers that Hartline is so fond of. He currently has 21 offers after coming off a season with 35 receptions for 556 yards and three scores. Michigan, Kentucky, and Missouri are some of his other options.
The Buckeyes have made an offer already to Guilford, so it seems more likely than not he'll be in the team's plans moving forward. The Buckeyes like to add four receivers in each class because they see so much NFL attrition.
June's visit will be at least the fourth time Guilford has been on Ohio State's campus. He previously visited as recently as October, and will again be in town this coming weekend. He's also been to Notre Dame twice.
