Five-star Louisiana QB schedules visit to Ohio State as recruitment heats up
Five-star Louisiana QB schedules visit to Ohio State as recruitment heats up
Louisiana native and 2027 quarterback Elijah Haven will make a trip to Ohio State on Thursday, according to On3's Mick Walker.
The Buckeyes are expected to make Haven an offer while he's in Columbus, adding to a host of Power Four offers. Heading into his junior year of high school football at the Durham School, Haven possesses offers from five SEC schools.
The Tigers made an offer to Haven in September, and On3's Prediction Machine gives them a 40.9% chance to land his commitment. However, it's too early to make a true prediction of where he will land.
247Sports, ESPN, and Rivals all rank Haven as the No. 1 quarterback in the class. On3 isn't quite as high, slotting Haven as the No. 11 quarterback in the class. When it's all said and done, Haven has a chance to be one of the highest-ranked quarterback recruits in Louisiana history.
Haven is one of three priority QBs for LSU in the 2027 class. Garrett Nussmeier's younger brother, Colton Nussmeier, is also on the board. Haven isn't the only Louisiana QB making waves in the 2027 class -- there's also Peyton Houston, who Rivals ranks as the No. 6 QB in the class.
