On3's Mick Walker wrote Friday that four-star tight end Brock Williams is on that list for the Buckeyes.
"Four-star Libertyville (Ill.) tight end Brock Williams is the undisputed top target for tight coach Keenan Bailey in the 2027 class," Walker wrote. "He is also a top target for the aforementioned [Brady] Edmunds which is a big reason why Williams chose to make the the trip down to Columbus this weekend. The 6-foot-5 210-pound Williams was last on campus for the Buckeyes first spring practice on March 17.
"Williams is fresh off a trip to Athens last weekend. Georgia is also making Williams, No. 1 tight end in 2027 On300, a priority."

Edmunds appears to be one of the reasons the Buckeyes are making Williams a priority.
According to the 247 Sports composite rankings, Williams is the No. 2 tight end in the 2027 recruiting class. A Libertyville, Illinois native, Williams is also the top recruit from Illinois and the No. 19 overall prospect in the class.
In addition to Edmunds, the Buckeyes have received a commitment from five-star athlete Jamier Brown in the 2027 class. Brown is the No. 5 overall recruit and top Ohio prospect in the class according to the composite rankings.
Edmunds is also ranked in the top 10 at his position and in the top 100 nationally.

Two Lakers preseason games will be on national television

A little over six weeks from now, the Los Angeles Lakers will open their preseason schedule for the 2025-26 NBA season. That schedule will become a bit hectic, as it features a set of back-to-back games and a stretch of four games in six days, but it will give fans an opportunity to see the intriguing roster the team has put together before wins and losses start to officially count. Two of those preseason contests will be shown nationwide on ESPN, which will allow Lakers fans outside of the greater Los Angeles area to tune in live. The team's Oct. 5 matchup against the Golden State Warriors and its Oct. 15 game against the Dallas Mavericks will be televised on the network. These are obviously two marquee matchups. The first will feature Stephen Curry, and the second will give Luka Doncic the opportunity to take on his former teammates, as well as allow LeBron James to take the court against former teammates Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell and Max Christie. The Lakers' regular season begins on Oct. 21 at Arena versus the Warriors. That game will be shown on NBC.
