Ohio State Issues 34 2027 Offensive Line Recruiting Offers

Ohio State football is actively pursuing top offensive line recruits, with coach Tyler Bowen significantly increasing the number of scholarship offers compared to previous years. Five-star tackle Felix Ojo, ranked as the second-best tackle nationally, has Ohio State and Texas as his top two school choices, despite a poor performance at a recent camp. Bowen’s aggressive recruiting strategy includes sending out numerous offers for the 2027 class, aiming to strengthen the offensive line and other positions like running back, with high-profile prospects such as Derrek Cooper showing interest. Another notable recruit, four-star offensive lineman J.B. Shabazz, recently visited Ohio State and has a longstanding relationship with Bowen. While Texas remains the favorite for Ojo, Ohio State's renewed efforts and potential NIL negotiations keep their chances alive to land this foundational player. Meanwhile, other recruits like a 2026 offensive lineman have chosen programs like Boise State, highlighting the competitive recruiting landscape.
