Ohio State offers one of Wisconsin's top recruits in the class of 2027
AGTG, After a great conversation with @TylerBowen I am blessed to receive an offer from THE Ohio State University.@ryandaytime @AllenTrieu @GtownGridiron
Ohio State extended an offer to class of 2027 four-star offensive tackle Cole Reiter on Monday.
Reiter is a rising junior at Germantown High School in Germantown, Wisconsin. At 90.90, he is 247Sports' second-highest-rated class of 2027 prospect from the Badger State.
Wisconsin and Ohio State now headline Reiter's offer sheet, which also includes Indiana, Iowa State, Kansas, Minnesota and Washington State. Given his top-end recruiting billing, that list is sure to grow over the next several months.
247Sports specifically ranks the 6-foot-7 tackle as the No. 274 overall player in the class and the No. 25 recruit at his position. Iola, Wisconsin, tight end Korz Loken is the only in-state recruit ranked higher than Reiter at No. 125 overall in the cycle and No. 9 at his position.
Wisconsin is looking to improve its in-state recruiting efforts after four consecutive cycles without landing one of the state's top-three-ranked recruits. With the top-ranked Buckeyes now in the mix for Reiter, the Badgers may face an uphill battle to break that streak.
Reiter's recruitment will be worth watching as the 2027 cycle heats up this winter. Wisconsin's immediate focus is still on the class of 2026, where the program's current class of 13 commitments ranks No. 39 nationally.
