Below you will find Ohio State's 2017 Ohio State commits, offers and prospects. This list will be updated monthly. Go here to see April's 2017 B1G Recruiting Rankings. 

New Commits Between 3-17-2016 and 4-20-2016

None.

New Offers Between 3-17-2016 and 4-20-2016

DUAL QB // Kellen Mond // ★★★★ // .946 // FL

TE // Tre' McKitty // ★★★ // .867 // FL

Kellen Mond is currently the fifth-ranked dual threat quarterback in the 2017 class. The IMG Academy player is committed to Baylor, but the Buckeyes decided to offer him on April 16th. Something to keep an eye on.

Tre' McKitty is the latest tight end to get an offer. McKitty is 6'4, 235 pounds and attends IMG Academy with Mond. I have a feeling the one known as the Lord of Whiskers and Sultan of Skullys would approve of McKitty's last name.

Check the bottom of the article as 10 players were added to the Radar List.

Kellen Mond
Kellen Mond is the 5th ranked dual threat quarterback in the 2017 class. He is originally from Texas, but transferred to IMG Academy. Mond received an offer to play at Ohio State at the Spring Game.

New additions to the lists are in bold.
