It’s been a busy week for Ohio State athletics, as the Buckeyes secured a promising but under-the-radar offensive tackle commitment for their football program while the women’s basketball team prepares for a sun-soaked international showdown in the Bahamas.
On the gridiron, head coach Ryan Day and his staff continue to show why Ohio State remains a recruiting powerhouse. This time, they landed a hidden gem: an overlooked offensive tackle whose stock has quietly risen thanks to standout camp performances and impressive game film. While not yet a household name, the 6’6”, 290-pound lineman has the frame, footwork, and raw power that Buckeye coaches believe can be molded into something special.
“I’ve always dreamed of playing at Ohio State,” the recruit shared on social media after announcing his commitment. “They believed in me when not everyone did, and now I’m ready to work and prove them right.”
Meanwhile, on the hardwood, the Ohio State women’s basketball team is packing their bags for an exciting preseason trip to the Bahamas. Head coach Kevin McGuff sees the international tour as more than just basketball—it’s about team bonding, growing chemistry, and giving his players unforgettable experiences off the court.
“This is a unique chance for our players to learn, grow, and compete in a beautiful setting,” McGuff said. “It’s an opportunity for our young women to represent Ohio State on a global stage.”
For fans, the Bahamas trip is another sign that Buckeye women’s hoops is ready to build on last season’s success. With a talented roster, strong returning core, and ambitious travel plans, the team is primed for another deep run.
Whether it’s future linemen in the trenches or Buckeye hoopers on the beach, Ohio State’s commitment to excellence is shining bright this fall.
