Ohio State has 2 cornerbacks committed in its 2027 class, and 1 more is still on the board. Every name below links to its full profile, and every fact comes from the verified commit board.
2 COMMITS / 1 ON THE BOARDCommitted to Oklahoma in June. Ohio State is still pursuing him. 247Sports moved him to five stars in its June 10 rankings update (News On 6, June 11, 2026).
Reporting: Eleven Warriors, July 1, 2026
A recruit who chose elsewhere counts toward nothing above. He is here because the reporting on how a position emptied is usually a name.
What we have written about the cornerback job at Ohio State, beyond this class:
Benny Easter Jr. has belonged to Texas Tech since November. Nigel Newkirk and Gabriel Osborne Jr. both pledged elsewhere at the turn of June, and Osborne's decision made Oklahoma the No. 1 class in the country that day. Read on their own 247Sports pages this weekend, the three of them are the No. 72, No. 226 and No. 36 players in the class.
A Cincinnati kid picked That Team Up North on July 1, all three of Ohio's top corners are now committed elsewhere, and the CB board suddenly looks thin.
How this reads: every cornerback above is grouped by the position board.json lists for him, the same grouping the needs page counts and the commit board publishes. Nothing on this page is a new claim: it is the same verified rows, gathered by position instead of by date. Ratings and national ranks carry the date they were read on each recruit's profile.
