Ohio State Football Recruiting 2024: Top Remaining Recruits, Class Predictions | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Ohio State's recruiting class is ranked fifth by 247Sports, though there's more to consider than just incoming high school stars.

The Buckeyes have landed top transfers like running back Quinshon Judkins, safety Caleb Downs and quarterback Julian Sayin. Sayin, a former 5-star recruit, is a particularly intriguing addition, and he'll be reunited with new offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien in Columbus.

O'Brien was with Alabama during Sayin's initial recruitment and spent last season with the New England Patriots.

"I held this program in high regard throughout my entire recruiting process and am looking forward to learning from some of the most talented players and coaches in college football and contributing to our team's success," Sayin said, per ESPN's Pete Thamel.

In terms of incoming high school recruits, the Buckeyes boast four 5-star players—Chaminade-Madonna Prep (Hollywood, FL) receiver Jeremiah Smith, Buford (Buford, GA) edge-rusher Eddrick Houston, New Haven (New Haven, IN) receiver Mylan Graham and Springfield (Holland, OH) cornerback Aaron Scott.

Smith is the nation's top-ranked recruit, according to 247 Sports.

Ohio State has another 14 4-star recruits committed to their 2024 class, along with a trio of 3-star recruits.

Just as importantly, the Buckeyes are set to have a few draft-eligible stars back in 2024. That group includes cornerback Denzel Burke and pass-rusher JT Tuimoloau—the 20th and 24th-ranked draft prospects on the Bleacher Report Scouting Department's January big board.

With an impressive combination of returning and new talent, the Buckeyes are set to be one of the top programs in the country next season.
