Ohio State has secured a major win on the recruiting trail with the commitment of Dequane Prevo, a four-star wide receiver from Liberty-Eylau High School in Texarkana, Texas. Prevo announced his decision, choosing the Buckeyes over a host of elite programs, including Arkansas, Texas, and Alabama. The 5’11”, 164-pound standout is widely regarded as one of the top receivers in the Class of 2026, ranked nationally in the top 50 by multiple recruiting platforms.
Known for his exceptional speed, precise route running, and ability to make contested catches, Prevo was a game-changer for Liberty-Eylau. During his junior season, he shattered school records for receiving yards and touchdowns, showcasing his knack for big plays and leadership on the field. His performances have not only helped his team advance deep into the playoffs but also garnered national attention.
In his commitment statement, Prevo cited Ohio State’s track record of developing NFL-caliber receivers and its offensive system as key factors in his decision. “Ohio State is the perfect place to grow as a player and a person. The coaching staff has a proven plan for me, and I can’t wait to be part of Buckeye Nation,” Prevo shared.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline played instrumental roles in Prevo’s recruitment. Hartline’s reputation for molding elite receivers, such as Garrett Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr., was a major draw for the Texan star.
Prevo’s addition strengthens Ohio State’s already loaded 2026 recruiting class, solidifying its position as a powerhouse for top offensive talent. Buckeye fans are eagerly anticipating his arrival,confident
