Ohio State football may be on the verge of securing its quarterback of the future in the 2026 class after hosting a highly anticipated official visit over the weekend. The Buckeyes welcomed one of their top QB targets to Columbus, and early signs suggest the visit left a strong impression.
ย
The quarterback in question โ whose name has been gaining traction among national recruiting circles โ reportedly connected well with Ohio Stateโs coaching staff, toured the facilities, and got a feel for the program’s culture and expectations. Head coach Ryan Day and quarterbacks coach Corey Dennis are believed to have played a major role in making the young signal-caller feel like a priority.
ย
Sources close to the recruitment indicate that Ohio State is now in a strong position to land his commitment, potentially in the near future. The visit is said to have moved the Buckeyes ahead of other major programs that are also vying for the 2026 standout. For a player this early in the cycle, relationships and vision matter just as much as facilities and recent successโand Ohio State appears to have checked all the boxes.
ย
Landing a 2026 quarterback early would be a significant step for the Buckeyes, who are looking to keep their quarterback pipeline loaded for years to come. Given Ohio Stateโs reputation for developing NFL-ready QBs, itโs no surprise that top talent is eager to explore what Columbus has to offer.
ย
If this momentum continues, Buckeye fans could soon be celebrating a major early recruiting win that would solidify the future of the programโs most important position. While nothing is official yet, signs are pointing toward a commitment that could come sooner rather than
later.
