Ohio State Football Snags 3 of Top 15 National Prospects

National Signing Day is Tuesday and as the nation's top high school recruits sign letters of intent to various schools, Ohioans will be eagerly looking to see how the state's flagship college did. Well, Ohio State University football snagged three of the top 15 high school prospects in the nation, according to 247 Sports.

Jeffrey Okudah, South Grand Prairie High School, a 5-star rated cornerback; Chase Young, DeMatha Catholic, a 5-star defensive end; and Baron Browning, Kennedale, an outside linebacker all committed to the Buckeyes.

The 247 Sports website ranks the Ohio State recruiting class as the second best in the nation, behind fellow perennial powerhouse Alabama.

Within the state of Ohio, the Buckeyes mopped up. Five of the state's top 10 recruits are going to Ohio State. That includes:

• 4-star offensive guard Josh Meyers from Miamisburg;
• Brendon White, a 4-star athlete from Olentangy Liberty;
• Amir Riep, 4-star cornerback from Colerain;
• Jaylen Harris, 4-star wide receiver from Cleveland Heights
• Marcus Williamson, 4-star cornerback from IMG Academy

The Buckeyes will be looking to improve on their successful but titleless season. The team made it to the College Football Playoffs before being absolutely dominated by eventual national champion Clemson. The Tigers manhandled the Buckeyes on their way to a 31-0 win.
