DT Tyleik Williams (.9295) committed to the Buckeyes on December 11. When he arrives on campus, he will be the first player from Manassas, VA to ever be listed on an Ohio State roster.

This little series follows the rankings of Ohio State's 2021 commitment class.

It is always interesting to see the ups and downs that each player's ratings will take between now and the first Wednesday of February.

Ryan Day already has five 5★ recruits in the 2021 class. The only other Ohio State recruiting class to have five 5★ recruits was 2017.

It's a Fact
Of the Big Ten's 15 highest rated 2021 recruits, Ohio State has 9 of those players. That's right, 60% of the conferences top 15 players are future Buckeyes.
