Where Ohio State’s 2022 recruiting class ranks
Ohio State entered December National Signing Day with the No.4-ranked recruiting class.
They trail Georgia, Alabama and Texas A&M. Those three programs plan to sign three 5-star recruits each.
When is the next National Signing Day?
In 2017, the NCAA brought back the early signing day for football. It went into effect in 2018. But before that, the first Wednesday of February was National Signing Day for football recruits.
The next signing will be Feb. 2.
However, recruits don’t have to sign that day. Last year, Ohio State signed J.T. Tuimoloau in the summer.
How does Ohio State's 2023 recruiting class look right now?
As of now, Ohio State has two commitments in its 2023 class. Tight end Tyler Lockwood of Independence, Tenn. (4-star) and Dayton Wayne standout lineman Joshua Padilla (4-stars) have committed to Ohio State.
