2. Ohio State Buckeyes

Urban Meyer and the Ohio State Buckeyes have some work to do after their 31-0 shutout to Clemson. But with the nation’s second best Orecruiting class, they should be in good shape for 2017.

The Buckeyes welcome 19 total commitments to Columbus for the upcoming season. As their sporadic offense was the main issue all season long, six commitments come on offense.

Quarterback J.T. Barrett will have new targets to throw to with wide receivers Trevon Grimes and Jaylen Harris. Grimes clocks in as the nation’s 39th overall prospect, fifth best receiver in this year’s class. Harris clocks in at 184th in the nation, the 30th overall receiver.

The Buckeyes reloaded at cornerback as well with this year’s recruiting class with five commitments. Two commitments are of the 5-star variety, Jeffrey Okudah and Shaun Wade. Both are early enrollees as well.

Okudah and Wade rank seventh and 17th nationally respectively, rounding out a strong defensive class for Ohio State. They have 11 defensive commitments in their 2017 recruiting class.
