This article covers the latest recruiting news for the Ohio State Buckeyes, highlighting their efforts to secure top prospects Josh Cantwell and Micah Morgan. Cantwell, a coveted offensive tackle, has listed Ohio State in his top six, while Morgan, a highly-ranked wide receiver, has included the Buckeyes in his top 10.
The Ohio State Buckeyes have made a strong impression on top offensive tackle prospect Josh Cantwell , cracking his top six despite the recent departure of former offensive line coach Justin Frye to the Arizona Cardinals. Cantwell is drawn to Ohio State's championship history, the program's proven development of offensive linemen, and the opportunity to compete for national titles.
Ryan Day's personal visit to see Cantwell further solidified the Buckeyes' appeal, demonstrating their commitment to securing his talent. Cantwell himself acknowledges the allure of a winning culture and the team's impressive offensive line. His association with a Waffle House flag during a high school game adds a unique layer to his candidacy, making him a memorable target for recruiting efforts. While the search for a new offensive line coach is ongoing, Ohio State appears poised to host Cantwell for an official visit this summer. Despite past setbacks in recruiting top offensive tackles, the Buckeyes remain determined to land a standout prospect like Cantwell. In another recruitment update, four-star wide receiver prospect Micah Morgan has listed Ohio State among his top 10 schools for the 2026 class. Morgan, ranked as the No. 43 prospect nationally and the No. 7 wide receiver, was offered by the Buckeyes following a standout performance at a recruiting camp. He admires Ohio State's wide receiver legacy under coach Brian Hartline and views it as a prime destination for aspiring NFL wideouts.Morgan's recruitment will be competitive, with Alabama and Auburn presenting strong challenges. However, Ohio State's history of producing elite wide receivers and Hartline's proven track record give the Buckeyes a legitimate shot at securing his commitment. Morgan, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound receiver, demonstrated his skills with 70 receptions for 1,162 yards and 14 touchdowns during his junior season, highlighting his speed and ability to create separation. The Buckeyes have already secured a commitment from in-state cornerback Jakob Weatherspoon for the 2026 class and are in a strong position with five-star Ohio standout Elbert Hill.
