(8) QB - Air Noland (****)

WILL OSU ADD ANOTHER QUARTERBACK TO ITS 2024 BOARD?
When it comes to quarterbacks, all eyes will be on four-star Georgia prospect Air Noland’s visit to Ohio State on March 31. Noland, the former high school teammate of Ohio State freshman tight end Jelani Thurman, is considered the 120th-best prospect and 11th-ranked quarterback in the 2024 class per 247Sports’ composite rankings.

He boasts more than 30 Division I offers, but none of those are from Ohio State. That has the potential to change in the near future. If Noland doesn’t get offered on his visit to Columbus, an offer could always come if he decides to camp at OSU in June, as Ryan Day typically prefers to offer signal-callers after he’s seen them throw in person.

Nolan helped lead Langston Hughes (Fairburn, Georgia) to an undefeated 15-0 record in his junior season, completing 236 of 323 passes for 4,095 yards, a whopping 55 touchdowns and four interceptions. The top-150 prospect also ran for five touchdowns last year.

Air Noland had arguably the best junior season of any 2024 QB: completed over 73% for 4,095 yards (12.7 YPA), 55 TD, 4 INT en route to a 15-0 season. Deservedly one of the hottest QB prospects in the cyclehttps://t.co/YxoRo5lyyG pic.twitter.com/2veDJNWw3S

AIR NOLAND DOWN TO SEVEN TEAMS, SETS COMMITMENT DATE
Last weekend’s recruiting efforts are over. But preparations are already being made for next week, as another decent number of quality prospects are expected to be on campus for Saturday’s scrimmage.

Among them will be four-star 2024 quarterback Air Noland, who narrowed down his recruitment to seven teams over the weekend: Ohio State, Alabama, Miami, Clemson, Arkansas, Texas A&M and Oregon.

Beyond that, Noland is ready to make a college decision, setting a commitment date for 8:30 p.m. on April 8. It’s all the more interesting that Noland hasn’t even received an offer from OSU yet, but he’s still counting them among his top schools. That’s because the Georgia prospect talks to Day, Corey Dennis and Brian Hartline nearly daily, and expects to be offered when he makes his visit to Ohio State.

“I’m extremely excited to get myself and my mom up there to Ohio State,” Noland told Eleven Warriors earlier this month. “I think Ohio State’s coaching staff has done a great job recruiting me between Coach Day, Coach Dennis and Coach Hartline. They’ve visited my school twice, and I think they think I have the right intangibles and all the right things to play quarterback for Ohio State. I think coach Dennis does a great job with quarterbacks and coach Day and coach Hartline’s offensive system is a very quarterback-oriented type of offense. A lot of quarterbacks have watched Ohio State this year and previous to this year and saw how explosive the offense can be. I’m very excited and can’t wait to get to Columbus.”
