Ohio State football 2026 recruiting class commitment tracker
Ohio State football 2026 recruiting class commitment tracker Though changes like Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), and the transfer portal have changed how rosters are put together in college football these days, getting things off on the right foot with a talented recruiting class is still the baseline of building a roster. The Ohio State football program recruits at an elite level, and has for decades, and there are a few national titles to show for all the efforts. The same applies to the likes of Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, and others over the last few years. Bring in the groceries to stock the shelves, cook the dinner, then supplement with other key ingredients -- that seems to be the recipe for success. We keep tabs on what Ohio State is doing with its football recruiting and keep a recruiting commitment tracker for each of OSU's classes as players commit, all the way through putting pen to paper on National Signing Day and we are doing the same for the 2026 class that is also looking like another elite one in the country. Here's a look at each of Ohio State's commitments with star and recruiting service rankings, measurables, and hometowns. We will continue to keep this tracker updated as the class takes shape, so check back often and get up to speed with where the Buckeyes' efforts go towards continuing the momentum it's had for a long, long time.

Former Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins praises Buckeye 'brotherhood'
You hear it all the time when you talk to current and past Ohio State football players. They talk about the "brotherhood" with reverence and respect. You hear a lot of teams talk about that sort of thing, but unless you are in the middle of it all, it's hard to fully grasp. One guy that was in the middle of the Ohio State brotherhood was running back Quinshon Judkins who was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 2025 NFL draft. The former Ole Miss All-SEC performer has a unique perspective too because he came to Ohio State from another program and had just one year to soak it all in. So what he says about the culture at OSU is more telling than maybe someone that doesn't have much to compare it to. Advertisement On that note, Judkins recently discussed what the brotherhood on the banks of the Olentangy means, and though he didn't put forth a long, winding answer, his short response was concise and on point. I seen Denzel (Burke) and he's like "O-H" when I first walked into the facility," Judkins said. "And I seen all the guys -- I've met a lot of the guys that are Buckeyes on the team -- and for them to be all around and still have that brotherhood and they say it and speak on it. So it's pretty special and it's a lifelong thing." Look, we writers aren't directly in the middle of the Buckeye culture, or "brotherhood" as they call it. But you can see and feel it just covering the team. There does seem to be a little something different than other programs, and it's a testament to the guys and coaches that have come before, and with Ryan Day continuing things. It's not easy.
