We’re still more than a month away from the college football season and the chance to see YOUR Ohio State Buckeyes make another run at some special things. But in the high-stakes game of big-time college football recruiting, the calendar is a year-round one.

Especially this time of year when the latest cycle’s prospects are getting ready for their senior year of high school right after and during some of the official visits that can lay the groundwork for getting their recruitment out of the way. The thought is to get things done a few months before the early signing period in December to concentrate on the upcoming season.

Ohio State is building on an elite class, one ranked as the No. 2 class in the country for 2024, but the Buckeyes are still trying to add a few more pieces to what’s already in the cupboard to finish it.

There have been several OSU targets that have announced their commitment dates and we’re here to keep track of it all for you. Here’s what we know those still considering the Buckeyes that have set dates to let the world know where they will be playing their college football.
