After seeing Denzel Ward in camp, knowing what kind of elite athleticism he has and watching what he was able to accomplish on the field as a senior, we've inserted him all the way up to 140 in the national rankings. His skillset continues to remind us of Justin Gilbert at the same stage.

Georgia native Joshua Norwood comes in at No. 206 in the Top247 and he made that move based purely on his senior tape which showed off outstanding instincts and playmaking ability.

Carlton Davis is the newest addition to the Top247 from the Ohio State commit list and though he's ranked lower than Ward, Norwood and Eric Glover-Williams, he is probably the best candidate to see the field early in his career. Davis' size and ability to play with physicality at the corner position should send him to Columbus ready to compete for the field.

Ohio State had several other notable moves in the final update to the Top247:

***Joe Burrow has added his fourth star and enters the Top247 after a fantastic senior season was supported by a really strong week of practice at the Semper Fi Bowl.

***Dre'Mont Jones continued his rise in the rankings up to No. 68 overall after an extremely strong effort at the Army Bowl.

*** RB Michael Weber jumped up to No. 131 from 152 in the rankings after showing the ability to finish runs and run with power at the Army Bowl week.

***Torrance Gibson is now ranked as a dual-threat quarterback rather than an athlete after showing off a sound command of the position at the Army Bowl. His ranking stays generally the same as it was prior to the game but we're much more confident in his ability to succeed at quarterback than we were just a few weeks ago.

***Jashon Cornell was the only Ohio State commit that took a significant nominal drop in the rankings but he stayed inside the Top100 after initially sitting at No. 71.
