Ohio State makes top 5 for four-star OT
The Buckeyes also received news Monday regarding their chances of securing a blue-chip offensive tackle. 2023 four-star offensive tackle Olaus Alinen of Windsor Connecticut announced his top five schools of Ohio State, Oregon, Miami, Alabama, and Georgia.

The group of five was not surprising as he already had official visits scheduled with the majority of the schools, but now he has the fifth visit to Oregon scheduled as well. Ohio State will be the last school on his trip, affording them with the opportunity to leave a solid last impression.

His visit to Ohio State on June 23 will be crucial for the Buckeyes' chances as Alabama has long been viewed as the favorite to earn his commitment. That being said, Ohio State can never be counted out until it is all said and done.

Alinen is the No. 15 OT in his class and is the No. 122 overall prospect. He is also the No. 1 recruit from Connecticut.

 

• Ohio State 2023 four-star quarterback Dylan Lonergan of Snellville, Georgia took to Twitter to share that he will be making his commitment on July 5. The Buckeyes already have multiple targets scheduled to announce over the Fourth of July weekend and if Lonergan decides to choose the Buckeyes over favorite South Carolina, the weekend could be the biggest recruiting weekend for the team this year.
