Ohio State lands a transfer commitment from former South Carolina transfer safety Keenan Nelson Jr.
No school has more five-star signees in the 2024 class than Ohio State.
Ohio State signed five composite five-star recruits on Wednesday: wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Mylan Graham, defensive end Eddrick Houston, cornerback Aaron Scott Jr. and quarterback Air Noland.
Those five Ohio State signees make up five of the 36 composite five-star recruits in the 2024 recruiting class, per 247Sports’ composite rankings. And Ohio State is the only school to have five of those five-stars.
Texas and Georgia have the second-most five-star prospects in the class with four each. Defensive end Colin Simmons, wide receiver Ryan Wingo, offensive tackle Brandon Baker and safety Xavier Filsaime all signed with the Longhorns while cornerback Ellis Robinson IV, linebacker Justin Williams, safety KJ Bolden and defensive lineman Joseph Jonah-Ajonye signed with the Bulldogs.
Alabama has three five-stars in the class – missing on a fourth when Houston stuck with his Ohio State commitment rather than flipping to the Crimson Tide – while no other school has more than two.
