Five Ohio State talents to keep an eye on in 2025

Lowe is on the list for the same reasons, as the No. 84 athlete and No. 9 offensive tackle has had interest from a number of institutions. The Toledo native is thinking about Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama.

Adding Lowe to the class would not only boost the offensive line to parity with the rest of the attack, but it would also add another in-state player to the class.

Given Ohio State’s numbers at safety, Delane would be a significant swing for the 2025 class.

Delane, a five-star player, the No. 24 overall player, and the No. 1 safety, comes from a good league in the Washington, D.C.-area and would make an immediate impact on the back end. The Buckeyes could use a player of his caliber in terms of both quality and quantity at the position in 2025 and beyond.

Burgess, the No. 147 overall player and No. 18 defensive lineman, will also commit on Jan. 6, giving the Buckeyes some much-needed depth up front.

Aside from any decisions made by current Ohio State defensive lineman, the room will appear drastically different beginning with the 2025 season. Burgess would help make up those numbers after taking in only two defensive line commits in the 2024 class.

Ohio State trending well for 2026 five-star quarterback

If you thought it was too early to consider the 2025 class, think again.

Jared Curtis, a five-star quarterback in 2026, has down his selection to six schools, including Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida State, and Texas A&M.

Curtis, the No. 20 overall athlete and No. 2 quarterback in the 247Sports composite rankings, is a Tennessee native who attended Nashville Christian School. As a sophomore in high school, he has the necessary size to play quarterback at a high level at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds. As if that weren’t enough, 247Sports recently predicted Curtis would wind up at Ohio State.
