The Ohio State Buckeyes recruit top wide receivers, Brian Hartline helps them hone their skills, they shine in college, then move on to the NFL and succeed at the next level. This is the ongoing cycle for the Buckeyes.
In the 2025 recruiting cycle, Ohio State has an incredible class that has earned them the No. 1 overall pick. What’s surprising is that the Buckeyes don’t currently have a five-star wide receiver under contract. However, they do have three commitments from two four-stars and one three-star. Quincy Porter is the highest-rated of the three recruits and is currently ranked as the No. 12 wide receiver on 247 Sports. On3 has him even higher at No. 5.
Perhaps it’s harder than usual to get a five-star receiver in this class because the current roster has so much young talent. The road to the field might take a little longer with Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss and Mylan Graham standing in the way. Securing just one five-star wide receiver is still important, though, and it seems like the Buckeyes understand that, too.
Five-star receiver Jaime Ffrench was a target for Ohio State in this class. It seemed like Ohio State would be among his top four schools, but Ohio State’s recent offer to Jerome Myles may have been a sign that Ffrench was leaning in a different direction. With the talented receiver from Jacksonville, Florida, set to announce his commitment in late August, Ffrench narrowed his top four to Texas, LSU, Miami and Tennessee. Excluding the Buckeyes allows them to focus entirely on Myles.

Jerome Myles is listed as a five-star talent by 247 Sports and is also rated as the No. 5 wide receiver, just one spot behind Ffrench. On3 isn’t as high on Myles, he’s currently listed as the No. 18 wide receiver. He decommitted from Ole Miss earlier this year and offers started pouring in this summer.
Earlier this week, Myles narrowed his list of schools to 10, and the Buckeyes are joined by Georgia, Michigan, Auburn, Texas A&M, USC, Penn State, Miami, LSU and Utah.

This fall, it will be important for Ohio State to move forward with Myles’ recruitment. At 6’2″, 200 pounds, Myles has enough size and speed to make an impact at the next level.
It certainly wouldn’t be the end of the world if the Buckeyes didn’t go home with a five-star receiver in this class, but it would be nice if they flexed their muscles a bit and made a decisive final push in the fall.
