Kaleb Brown (.9738) is listed as a receiver, but he has the skillset to fill the H-back role for the Buckeyes.
This little series will follow the rankings of Ohio State's 2022 commitment class. Going forward, Charting Ohio State's 2022 Committed Players will run on the last Friday of each month.
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.
