Ohio State’s top priority for the current recruiting cycle is without a doubt addressing a lack of depth along the offensive line.
The staff has already landed commitments from four-star tackles Ryan Jacoby and Doug Nester, and took yet another step toward solidifying the trenches on Thursday evening when Cincinnati Anderson four-star guard Zeke Correll included the Buckeyes in his Top 4 alongside Clemson, Notre Dame and Stanford.
I am BEYOND GRATEFUL for all of the opportunities that I have been given. I would like to thank every coach that has reached out to me and recruited me. But above all, I would like to honor God for getting me here. TOP 4Also thanks to @Recruit_Edits for this dope edit!! pic.twitter.com/kJkFMec07p

The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Correll is considered the ninth-best offensive guard and No. 164 prospect overall in the Class of 2019, but will likely play center at the next level. With that, his recruitment is very much tied to what happens with Georgia four-star center Harry Miller, who also appears to be closing in on a decision between the Buckeyes and Cardinal.
Correll has been to campus numerous times since Ohio State offered him a scholarship last spring, most recently for an offensive line-specific Junior Day in February. He’s set to return for an official visit on June 22-24.
Correll recently traveled to Clemson for the Tigers’ Spring Game last month, and is set to take official visits to Palo Alto June 5-6 and Sound Bend June 15-17. The Fighting Irish are considered the favorite to land his pledge at this time, though he hasn't set a decision date just yet.
