Ohio State coaches have hit the recruiting trail running this week.
A large collection of new offers has been extended over the last few days, including seven top-200 prospects in the 2027 recruiting class.
We’ve highlighted the most notable offers given out by the Buckeyes’ coaching staff this week below.
Kelsey Adams
Offensive line coach Tyler Bowen certainly made the rounds this week. Four-star Georgia prospect Kelsey Adams is the highest-rated prospect Bowen offered this week, as he is considered the No. 49 player and No. 4 offensive tackle in the 2027 recruiting class per 247Sports’ composite rankings.

The 6-foot-5, 287-pound Atlanta resident has played tackle since his freshman year and has picked up 24 Division I offers, including Alabama, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Nebraska, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt.
Adams is a multi-sport athlete and also plays basketball and competes in track and field.
Layton Von Brandt
Bowen has also entered the recruitment of an offensive tackle currently committed to a Big Ten rival. Four-star Delaware offensive tackle Layton Von Brandt earned an offer from the Buckeyes as they’ll now work to flip him away from Penn State, where he’s been committed since November.

Von Brandt has been his high school’s starting left tackle since his sophomore year and also plays basketball.
Zane Rowe
Larry Johnson is taking his shot at one of the more talented defensive ends in the 2027 class. Four-star Texas product Zane Rowe, the No. 66 player and No. 10 edge prospect in the cycle, earned an offer from OSU this week.

Jaxon Dollar
If nothing else, Dollar is guaranteed to make the first-team All-Name team in college football every season. But more importantly, he’s also a very talented tight end from North Carolina.

The 6-foot-5, 208-pound tight end caught 13 passes for 224 yards and six receiving touchdowns last season.
Sean Tatum
The first two offensive line offers we discussed were tackles, but Bowen also offered four-star Florida prospect Sean Tatum, who’s projected to be an interior offensive lineman at the next level. Tatum is ranked as the No. 131 prospect and the No. 5 interior offensive lineman in the 2027 cycle.

Danny Lang
Considering the Mater Dei curse is now broken (right?) with the Kayden Dixon-Wyatt commitment, Ohio State is dipping its toes back into recruiting the California prep powerhouse by offering 2027 cornerback Danny Lang.

In his sophomore season, Lang recorded 33 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

Another Henry coming to Ohio State?
Ohio State five-star wide receiver commit Chris Henry Jr.'s younger brother, DeMarcus Henry, also picked up an offer from the Buckeyes this week. But it's Jake Diebler and the Ohio State men's basketball team that have their eyes on the younger Henry.
Blessed!!

— Chris Henry Jr (@ChrisHenryJr) May 8, 2025
The 6-foot-6, 180-pound Mater Dei small forward is considered the No. 52 prospect and No. 18 small forward in the 2027 class in the 247Sports composite rankings.
Between Henry Jr., DeMarcus and the pair's older sister Seini Henry, who plays for the OSU women's basketball team, there could be three members of the Henry family at OSU if Diebler can land the youngest Henry.
