Summary

Ohio State's recruiting focuses have turned to its 2026 class where it already holds four commitments. Headling that group is five-star Chris Henry Jr., as the nation’s top wide receiver. He’s joined by four-star cornerback Jakob Weatherspoon, four-star tight end Corbyn Fordham and three-star wide receiver Jaeden Ricketts. On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means and Andrew Gillis discuss how many numbers more people should join them as Andrew puts together the perfect 2026 class. The conversation is about the number of commits and types of players needed at every position for the 2026 class to be a success. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.
