The Ohio State Buckeyes already have a loaded 2025 recruiting class, but were looking to add a major piece for 2026.
However, the Alabama Crimson Tide and first-year head coach Kalen DeBoer dashed those hopes on Sunday.
Mar 21, 2024; Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA; Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer gives directions during practice at the University Alabama Thursday. / Gary Cosby Jr.-Tuscaloosa News / USA2026 four-star cornerback Dorian Barney has committed to Alabama, as he chose the Tide over Ohio State, USC and Florida State.
The Buckeyes now have 12 commitments for 2025 after Woodby's decision. Ohio State's class still features five-star cornerbacks Devin Sanchez and Na'eem Offord along with three-star safeties DeShawn Stewart and Cody Haddad. Sanchez and Offord are currently listed as the two top CBs overall in the entire 2025 recruiting class.
The grind on the recruiting trail is never over for Ohio State coach Ryan Day and staff. It's a safe bet that they'll land more big names at some point later this offseason despite missing out on some key high school targets.
