Ohio State's Recruiting Heat: Miles, Peterson, Gerken, Cole

Ohio State football is intensifying its recruiting efforts for future classes, with a significant focus on 2027 running back Jayden Miles from Louisiana. Miles, ranked as the 30th best running back nationally, has narrowed his list to six schools, keeping the Buckeyes in the running after their offer last August. Carlos Locklyns connections in Louisiana have helped Ohio State maintain a strong presence with top backs like Miles. The program is expected to secure at least one running back this cycle and may consider a second if the fit is right. Spring practice is attracting prospects to Columbus, including newly offered 2028 linebacker Ryan Peterson from North Carolina and in-state offensive tackle Reed Gerken from Perrysburg. Ohio State is also in a tight battle with Georgia for 2027 safety Adryan Cole, a top-258 national talent who is frequently changing his top choice. With numerous visits planned, the Buckeyes spring momentum could secure some key commitments.
