Spots are limited in Ohio State's 2017 recruiting class, but one player the Buckeyes would surely love to add is five-star wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones.

Peoples-Jones released his final five schools Sunday afternoon on his Twitter account and Ohio State made the cut. Also included were Michigan, Michigan State, Florida and Florida State.

A Detroit native, Peoples-Jones is ranked as the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2017 class and the No. 12 overall player, according to 247Sports composite ratings. 

The 6-foot-2, 192-pounder is considered a Michigan lean. He officially visited Ohio State when the Buckeyes hosted Indiana on Oct. 8.

Ohio State has two wide receivers already committed in its 2017 class — five-star Trevon Grimes and four-star Tyjon Lindsey — but the Buckeyes would surely love to add the talented Peoples-Jones, as unlikely as it may be.

Eleven Warriors will have more on Peoples-Jones in tonight's The Hurry-Up.
