The 2028 five-star from St. John's Prep chose the Buckeyes on Saturday. He is the No. 1 quarterback in the class to Rivals and to the 247Sports composite, the No. 2 on 247Sports' own board, and somewhere between 6-4 and 6-5 depending on who measured him.
The Buckeyes went back to Jackson for the first top-100 offensive lineman from outside Ohio to pick them since 2021. Eleven Warriors counted Moss as the second Mississippian in program history, and the 1990 Ohio State media guide gives the first one a name, a position and a hometown: Craig Robinson, tight end, Jackson, one season.
The 247Sports composite had him No. 400 the day he pledged. It has him No. 1088 now. The scouting report on his own player page is dated a month before the commitment and has never been replaced, which means the number moved without anyone changing their mind about him.
Rivals calls him the No. 5 interior offensive lineman in the country. In the same article, Rivals says the industry has him 221 spots lower overall. Eight months after he committed, the services still do not agree on what he plays or how good he is.
Ohio State's 2027 quarterback left his UCLA official visit thinking he was going to be a Bruin. Two weeks later his father texted him from a hotel lounge in Columbus, and he says the answer was yes right there. He did not say it publicly until July 23.
The four-star from Huntington Beach spent his summer weighing a flip to UCLA. He says he is staying and plans to sign with Ohio State in December, a day after the class lost its top running back target.
He chose the Buckeyes over Auburn and Georgia, and filled the last hole in the best defensive line haul since 2021. By his own account he was going to Georgia before he visited Columbus.
Three days after Eleven Warriors called him the only uncommitted tight end holding an Ohio State offer, Johnson committed to Ole Miss. The 2027 class still has no tight end, and now it has nobody left to sign.
Five new commits in a month of official visits pushed the Buckeyes to 18, headlined by the nation's No. 1 defensive end. Here is the full board, who is still out there, and who got away.
