It wasn’t just Texas running back James Peoples on Friday getting a crystal ball to pick Ohio State this weekend. There were multiple more over the very successful recruiting weekend (link to other story).
Buckeye head coach Ryan Day is looking to change the narrative after coming up short on the last few prospects that were considering Ohio State.
The momentum on the trail seems like it has turning in the Buckeyes favor, especially with multiple insiders who think some very high level prospects will ultimately choose Ohio State.
Find out below which prospects received 247Sports crystal balls to eventually end up wearing Scarlet and Gray on Saturday afternoons.
2024 Texas linebacker Peyton Pierce
Breakdown
A top target for the cycle at linebacker, Pierce is one of the best in the country. Ohio State insider Bill Kurelic thinks the defender will commit to the Buckeyes and then later Notre Dame insider Toy Loy did the same.
2024 Ohio safety Reggie Powers III
Breakdown
Just offered over the weekend, Powers III has already been crystal balled to Ohio State by Kurelic again. That is currently the only prediction for the instate safety.
2024 Ohio offensive lineman Devontae Armstrong
Breakdown
Make it four-for-four with crystal ball selections to Ohio State, with the latest being their director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong. It seems like it’s just a matter of time before Devontae to join the class.
*Armstrong has since committed to Ohio State
2024 Ohio offensive lineman Deontae Armstrong
Breakdown
Wiltfong thinks that Deontae will do the same as his twin brother. Surprisingly, they both have the same amount of predictions as well.
*Armstrong has since committed to Ohio State
2024 Indiana wide receiver Mylan Graham
Breakdown
Just one state over is a nationally recruited receiver who sees an opportunity to stay close to home and work with offensive coordinator Brian Hartline. This time it’s Allen Trieu, their national recruiting analyst, making the prediction. All three of the crystal balls are for Ohio State with Graham.
