COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State hung onto a 2025 linebacker commit as Tarvos “T.J.” Alford stuck with his commitment to the Buckeyes on National Signing Day. In a recruitment that had many late swings, the Vero Beach, Florida, native opted to stay with his original commitment despite a late push from Miami.

Here are the five-star signees Ohio State landed a year ago: Ohio State finished 2024 with the fifth-best class in the country, behind Georgia, Alabama, Oregon and Miami, according to 247sports.com. Ohio State coach Ryan Day will hold a signing day press conference at noon at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
