The Buckeyes made the list along with Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Oregon.
There's no timetable yet for Ringo's commitment, but the five-star corner is expected to take an official visit to Ohio State before making his college decision.
Ringo is part of a quartet of elite prospects the Buckeyes hope to land out of Arizona. Ohio State already has a commitment from four-star quarterback Jack Miller, who also lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, along with Ringo.
The Buckeyes also are the favorite to land four-star safety Lathan Ransom and are in strong pursuit of five-star running back Bijan Robinson. Both prospects attend Salpointe Catholic High School in Tucson, Arizona.
