now that Air is a composite 5 star, I wanted to look back and see how many 5 stars OSU has gotten commitments from at each position, as of June 30th 2023. this may very much change as Eddrick Houston, Dylan Stewart, Brandon Baker, KJ Bolden, and whoever else would also immediately be one of the top 50 highest recruits in osu history, but we can discuss that later if something comes to fruition.
With Noland, now there are 57 composite 5 star recruits in the program's history.
QB: 6: Ewers (also the highest rated Buckeye commit of all time), Pryor (2nd highest buckeye commit of all time), McCord, Braxton Miller, Zwick, and Noland
RB: 4: Wells, Maldonado, Henderson, Clarett
OL: 9: NPF, PJJ, Boone, Derek Morris, Brewster, Donovan Jackson, Mike Adams, Wyatt Davis, Harry Miller
TE: 1: Irrizay
WR: 8: Jeremiah Smith (4th highest rated recruit in program history), Fleming, Egbuka, Garrett Wilson, Mylan Graham, JSN, Inniss, Jalin Marshall *Ted Ginn was a CB recruit*
^also look at how most of these names are Hartline's guys
DE: 8: Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Spence, Bosa, Chase Young, Zach Harrison, Adolphus Washington (although he moved inside at OSU), Rose
DT: 2: Vincent, Townsend
LB: 9: Hicks, Browning, D'andrea, Marco Cooper, Curtis Grant, Dorian Bell, McMillan, Sabino, Hilliard
CB: 5: Ginn, Okudah, Whitner, Jemario O neal, Shaun Wade *obviously a couple guys played other positions besides pure CB*
SAF: 5: Styles, Vonn Bell, Tyreke Johnson (was a CB), Jontae Gilbert, Clifford
*10 of these guys will be on the 2023 roster. 6 on offense, 4 on defense. and, besides Hicks and Inniss, every single 5 star on the roster will probably starting (McCord, Henderson, Jackson, Styles, JTT, Sawyer, Fleming, Egbuka)*
