Star Playmaker Has No Words on Major Ohio State Announcement
Few young people follow the cliché, but it still often rings true. A picture, on its own, is worth a 1,000 words.
That's what four-star wide receiver Kayden Dixon-Wyatt appeared to believe with a post of a picture without a caption following his commitment to the Ohio State Buckeyes.

On Sunday, Dixon-Wyatt tweeted a photo of Buckeyes offensive coordinator Brian Hartline. In the picture, Hartline is smiling while holding a cigar.
The wideout had the photo on his X (formerly Twitter) account about an hour after On3's Hayes Fawcett reported Dixon-Wyatt committed to Ohio State.
"The 6'2 180 WR from Oakland, CA chose the Buckeyes over Oregon and Alabama," tweeted Fawcett.

According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Dixon-Wyatt is the No. 15 receiver in the 2026 recruiting class. The same rankings also have Dixon-Wyatt rated as the No. 15 California prospect and No. 107 overall recruit in the class.

Dixon-Wyatt is considerably higher ranked on the 247Sports-only rankings. On that ranking list, he is the No. 6 receiver and No. 59 overall prospect in the class.
Based on either ratings, the Buckeyes have landed yet another verbal commitment from a highly-touted wide receiver in the 2026 recruiting class.
With Dixon-Wyatt, Ohio State has landed three four-star receivers and a three-star wideout in the 2026 class. The program's current top commitment in the class is Dixon-Wyatt's high school teammate, receiver Chris Henry Jr.
Dixon-Wyatt is Ohio State's No. 3 2026 commitment according to 247Sports.

Local prospect Jaeden Ricketts, who is from Pataskala, Ohio, is the other four-star receiver committed to Ohio State in the 2026 class. Those three stars will join a Buckeyes receiving group next year that will still have star Jeremiah Smith, who isn't eligible to enter the NFL Draft until 2027.
A native of Southlake, Texas, Brock Boyd is the three-star receiver committed to Ohio State in 2026.
