The Ohio State football team is on the verge of a significant recruiting coup, as five-star offensive lineman David Sanders Jr. is considering flipping his commitment from Tennessee to the Buckeyes.
Sanders Jr., the top-rated tackle in the 2025 class, has been committed to the Volunteers since August. However, after a visit to Ohio State over the weekend, he is reportedly reconsidering his options. The Buckeyes’ coaching staff, particularly offensive line coach Justin Frye, have been working tirelessly to land Sanders Jr., and their efforts may finally be paying off.
The visit to Ohio State was a significant success, with Sanders Jr. expressing his enthusiasm for the program. There are even rumors that he may return to Columbus for the Buckeyes’ showdown with Michigan, also known as “The Game.” If he does make a second visit, it’s likely a done deal, and Sanders Jr. will join the Buckeyes’ 2025 recruiting class.
Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) discussions are also underway, with the Buckeyes reportedly offering a substantial package to secure Sanders Jr.’s commitment. While the exact details of the offer are unclear, it’s evident that the Buckeyes are willing to invest heavily in landing the top-rated tackle.
The recruitment of Sanders Jr. is a crucial one for Frye, who has faced criticism for his recruiting efforts over the past two years. Landing a five-star talent like Sanders Jr. would not only bolster the Buckeyes’ 2025 recruiting class but also help to justify Frye’s position on the coaching staff.
As the Buckeyes look to close out their 2025 recruiting class, the potential addition of David Sanders Jr. would be a massive coup. With his talent and athleticism, he has the potential to make an immediate impact in Columbus. Buckeyes fans will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of Sanders Jr.’s recruitment, hoping that he will soon don the scarlet and gray.
