2. Ohio State Buckeyes

With 22 recruits, Ohio State has 15 four-stars and one five-star.

When you look at an Urban Meyer recruiting class, you always want to look at how many potential All-Americans are hidden throughout. Guys like Nick Bosa, Demario McCall and Dwayne Haskins are the headliners to this class and could fit that billing.

Nick will have lofty expectations, following in the footsteps of his brother Joey. Demario is the No. 2 running back in the nation and has an immense amount of speed. And given the success at the quarterback position for the Buckeyes over the last few years, Haskins has the potential to lead the Buckeyes back to a national title.

Ohio State has done a great job of recruiting out of the midwest, particularly in Ohio, and extending down into Meyer’s old stomping grounds in Florida. Eight of their commits hail from Ohio, meanwhile four come from Florida. The recruiting class is heavy with tight ends, landing three of the top 11 in the nation, all of are from the state of Ohio as well.

They currently have seven guys enrolled and on campus.
