tOSU has always consistently been the only B10 and Midwestern team that can recruit out of its home state, with some real legends being Buckeyes as of late from high schools very far away from Columbus. Day has done a great job getting elite talent from every part of the country.

Using players that went to HS out of state.

Here is my Ryan Day era non Ohioan team:

QB: Justin Fields (Kennesaw, GA)

RB: TreVeyon Henderson (Hopewell, VA)

WR: Jeremiah Smith (Opa Locka, FL), Garrett Wilson (Austin, TX) Jaxon Smith Njigba (Rockwall, TX)

TE: Jeremy Ruckert (Lindenhurst, NY)

OL: Josh Simmons (La Mesa, CA), Donovan Jackson (Bellaire, TX), Luke Wypler (Montvale, NJ), Wyatt Davis (Bellflower, CA), Nicholas Petit Frere (Tampa, FL)
