Ohio State football’s 2022 recruiting class members receive final rankings
We are nearly at the end of the 2022 recruiting cycle for college football, and that means Ohio State’s class individuals received their final rankings across the major recruiting services out there. If you follow the trajectory of these types of things, then you know how drastically things can change from the time prospects get their first ranking to where it all lands at the end.
It was no different this year. OSU saw some of its commitments experience a significant rise up the rankings (QB Devin Brown and safety Kye Stokes as examples), while others slipped a wee bit.
As you’ll see, there is often some pretty significant differing of rankings between the recruiting services because this whole thing is nowhere near an exact science and opinions often rule the day.
That being said, here is a list of all of the Ohio State commitments for the 2022 class and what their final, individual recruiting rankings were across 247Sports, Rivals, ESPN, and On3.
