It's no secret the Ohio State football program has pulled in the best wide receiving talent over the last few years, and it just landed another one. Ever since Brian Hartline burst onto the scene as the wide receivers coach he has upped the talent at the position. He's still there, just with the new fandangled title of Offensive Coordinator.
The Buckeyes have a deep receiver room already and have already pulled in two blue-chip pass catchers in the 2026 class, including five-star talent Chris Henry Jr. He joins four-star prospect Jaeden Ricketts as a tandem of talented guys who will continue that tradition, but now there's another that has joined the fold.
According to an announcement on his X account, another four-star receiver, Brock Boyd, has flipped his commitment from TCU over to Ohio State, making it three dynamic receiving prospects in the 2026 cycle.
Out of Southlake Carroll High School, the same high school as former OSU and Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, Boyd is ranked as the No. 58 receiver and 374th overall prospect in 2026 according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. But, as we have seen in the past, the OSU staff does a fantastic job of identifying talent at the position and you can probably expect him to get a bump based on this news going forward.
Last season, as a junior, Boyd hauled in 111 passes for 1,875 yards and 19 touchdowns, helping his team to a 15-1 record and just a whisker away from winning a state title.
With the commitment, Ohio State now has 11 verbal pledges in the 2026 class with plenty of more room to add to a haul that is quickly rising up the national rankings. OSU now has the No. 2 ranked overall class according to the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings and will look to continue the momentum it currently has on the recruiting trail.
We'll have more recruiting news as it becomes available, but it sure looks like the Buckeyes are back up among the elite, as you would expect after taking home the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff national title.
