JAYLEN MCCLAIN PICKS UP AN OSU OFFER
Ohio State has added another safety to its 2024 recruiting board. Four-star New Jersey prospect Jaylen McClain picked up an OSU offer Thursday, with the opportunity being presented by safeties coach Perry Eliano.

McClain is considered the 258th-best prospect and 23rd-ranked safety in the 2024 class per 247Sports’ composite rankings and has picked up 34 Division I offers. In early February, McClain listed a top 10 consisting of Notre Dame, Penn State, USC, Oregon, Michigan, Michigan State, Rutgers, Stanford, Tennessee and Georgia. With OSU offering, the Buckeyes should be in the mix for McClain moving forward.

The 6-foot, 185-pound prospect is a two-way player for Seton Hall Prep (West Orange, New Jersey), lining up at wide receiver offensively. OSU is focused on his capabilities as a defensive back, though. Last season, McClain racked up 83 tackles with a sack and interception. Offensively, he totaled five receptions for 22 yards and five carries for 17 yards and a touchdown.

 

Top-100 prospect Jaylen McClain is fresh off a visit to Ohio State where he finally got to meet coaches face-to-face and see what the Buckeyes are about.

He will definitely return to Columbus this summer at some point. https://t.co/Vu8OxG4IbS pic.twitter.com/EW0vdLaype

Jaylen McClain 6’ 190 FS West Orange Seton hall prep HS,NJ has committed to the buckeyes Ohio State. I was super impressed with Jaylen when I visited with him a few months ago and he no doubt is one of the top defensive players in the east. Great range, burst and can hit. pic.twitter.com/prPZF9Vfu1
