Nevada 2025 offensive tackle is offered by Ohio State
Ohio State has recruited Bishop Gorman High School previously — Does Tate Martell ring a bell?
They are now after another prospect from the Nevada powerhouse high school program in offensive tackle Douglas Utu. The 6-foot, 5-inch, 270-pound lineman is one of the best in the country, the No. 6 tackle and 57th overall player according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Utu brings plenty of versatility to his game, not only does he have the ability to play either tackle, he could slide inside to guard if needed. The Buckeyes have recently had a lot of success with a player like that with Paris Johnson Jr., and Utu could be next as he was offered a scholarship after a conversation with offensive line coach Justin Frye.

It’s never easy for schools in the Midwest to go out west and successfully recruit a player, but if there is one school that can do it, it’s Ohio State. The Buckeyes hopefully can get Utu to visit in the near future.
