Like they do most recruiting cycles, Ohio State football signs multiple high end projects.
That didn’t change for the 2024 class, as the Buckeyes signed a group of twenty total commits, an astounding thirteen of them made 247Sports final recruiting rankings.
Keep in mind that this is not their composite rankings, these are their in-house ones which may be different than what we normally say the signees rankings are.
Regardless of what we typically use, it’s another impressive haul for head coach Ryan Day and once again reloads the program with an influx of talent. Found out below where each of Ohio State’s signees landed on 247Sports final rankings update.

No. 1 Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith"Ohio State-bound wide receiver Jeremiah Smith never really gave us a reason to look elsewhere following a dominant week at the All-American Bowl." – @Andrew_Ivins
Smith becomes the first WR to finish ranked No. 1 and earn a grade of 101.

Info
Smith held onto the top ranking and will finish the cycle as the best recruit in the country. He is expected to make an immediate impact for the Ohio State offense despite him being a true freshman.

5 star Bama QB commit Julian Sayin is insane. One of the most accurate high school QBs I’ve ever seen pic.twitter.com/AmOcT67OMG
— Andrew Ferrelli (@Andrew_Ferrelli) September 9, 2023
Info
Although Sayin initially enrolled at Alabama, thus him not having an Ohio State logo next to his name, he transferred over the weekend. He’s the nations No. 3 quarterback in this cycle with a very bright future.

No. 33 Defensive end Eddrick HoustonOhio State signee Eddrick Houston 👀 pic.twitter.com/S2QymOSlg9

Info
The early enrolling end should contribute early for the loaded Buckeye defense. That should tell you just how good Houston is.

No. 51 Cornerback Aaron ScottTop 50 CB Aaron Scott Jr. pulled the Ohio State jersey out the Michigan backpack to make his commitment💀https://t.co/qKvZK2fvmmpic.twitter.com/x9yq7VwAVW
— On3 (@On3sports) July 30, 2023
Info
The top Ohioan in 247Sports list, Scott is clearly one of the nations best. He’s the No. 5 corner in the country.

No. 59 Wide receiver Mylan GrahamOhio State 5⭐️ WR commit Mylan Graham pic.twitter.com/87x2Iz30R5

Info
One of the few non-early enrolling players, Graham is overshadowed by his classmate Smith, but he’s extremely talented in his own right.

In the midst of a court storming Buckeye fans got their first introduction to Air Noland yesterday.
I think he took about a 100 selfies with fans before finishing off the celebration by singing Carmen Ohio as a Buckeye for the first time. pic.twitter.com/oxqWGxCcf3
— Adam King (@AdamKing10TV) January 22, 2024
Info
Even with Sayin now in the class, Noland came to Columbus to compete and understands there will always be high level quarterbacks in the room. Injuries kept his senior season production down, but the talent is there for the lefty.

No. 126 Running back James PeoplesProud to be onboard ‼️ https://t.co/HByXrgUCy0
— James (@James_peoples17) January 13, 2024
Info
The No. 7 back in the country, Peoples is already on campus to try and play early. If he does, which isn’t too likely, it means that he’s among the best in the country, not just in Columbus.

No. 151 Cornerback Bryce WestTop-Rated 2024 Cornerback IGA Scores
We're excited to unveil our top-rated corners, determined through our revolutionary In-Game Athleticism (IGA) Score™, a measure of in-game athleticism derived from position-specific metrics extracted by our innovative tracking technology.… pic.twitter.com/dRz80jfr3u

Info
It’s a bit lower than many expected, but West is still one of the best in the country. He most likely will redshirt and then see time early in year two.

No. 181 Interior offensive lineman Ian MooreMy Guy @IanMoore2024 🤞🏾 pic.twitter.com/9ePfaOPH4u
— 🤙🏾 (@Jermiah_Smith1) January 6, 2024
Info
The top offensive lineman in the Buckeyes class, Moore enters at a great time to contribute early with new offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien not guaranteeing anyone’s job. He has the size and ability to play early.

No. 203 Linebacker Payton PierceHappy birthday pops! Best man and leader I’ve ever met. Wouldn’t have accomplished any of this without you, love you! @GenoPierce pic.twitter.com/LatH3PPXdY
— Payton Pierce (@payton_pierce26) January 22, 2024
Info
Another Buckeye that had injury issues in high school, Pierce can make an impact if healthy. However, don’t expect an early one from the Texan.

No. 212 Linebacker Garrett Stover#Buckeyes LB Garrett Stover working on his drops. pic.twitter.com/6ygeVovZwS
— Marc Givler (@MarcGivler) January 3, 2024
Info
Like Pierce, Stover most likely won’t see the field in year one. He’ll have a great chance to contribute after most likely redshirting this fall.

No. 223 Defensive lineman Dominic Kirks🚨BREAKING🚨 4-star DL Dominic Kirks has committed to Ohio State🌰
More from @ChadSimmons_: https://t.co/o5GaMVj8Vr pic.twitter.com/E66onFfgn9
— On3 Recruits (@On3Recruits) January 20, 2024
Info
The late commit has yet to sign, but should do that barring a change of heart in February. Ohio State was able to keep one of the best in-state prospects home after Kirks initially committed to Washington.

No. 233 Tight End Max LeBlancThank you coach! https://t.co/XmJlvdiX3e
— Max LeBlanc (@MaxenceLeblanc5) January 12, 2024
Info
Another redshirt candidate, there are multiple upperclassmen ahead of LeBlanc on the depth chart. He will have a chance to make an impact in a few years.
