Sometimes its nice to see the big picture. Below you will find Ohio State's 2018 Ohio State commits, offers and prospects. Short on writing, long on information. This list will be updated monthly. 

Four New Offers Between 3-24-2016 and 4-25-2016

In the last update DT PJ Mustipher and WR Jalen Hall were on the Radar List. Now each of them has earned a coveted offer from Urban Meyer and Ohio State. Two other players who you may or may not be familiar with received offers well.

The last four weeks have been very busy for Leonard Taylor. Not only did he get an offer from Ohio State, but he made a verbal commitment to his college of choice. The Springfield, Ohio native surprised many by choosing Michigan over Ohio State. It will be interesting to see if the commitment sticks until the first Wednesday in February.

Here are the details on the six newest offers:

JALEN HALL •  LOS ANGELES, CA • WR  • ★★★★★ • .998

PJ MUSTIPHER •  OWINGS MILLS, MD • DT  • ★★★★★ • .991

BRENDAN RADLEY-HILES •  CALABASAS, CA • CB  • ★★★★ • .968

MUSTAPHA MUHAMMAD •  MISSOURI CITY, TX • TE  • ★★★★ • .946

Brendan Radley-Hiles
CB Brendan Radley-Hiles (.968) is the latest player from California's Calabasas HS to get an offer from Ohio State.
