The Cincinnati Princeton running back reopened his recruitment on September 3 and said the decision comes in the winter. The visit to Columbus is still on for Saturday, Ohio State still has not offered him, and the composite ranking three outlets quoted this week is not the one on his player page today.

Which games he is out of: the OHSAA's Tim Stried, via Cincinnati Enquirer, Dave Clark, August 27, 2026, with the infractions report via Dayton Daily News, Steven Wright, August 27, 2026, who printed "he will miss the first two games of the regular season". The dates are Wayne's first two scheduled games of 2026, which is what that clause names.
One of those nights was the same game: Sierra Canyon at Chaminade-Madonna. Two board schools, one field, so that result is counted once for each of them.

The 247Sports Composite files Hall as the No. 1 defensive lineman and No. 2 overall recruit in his cycle. Land-Grant Holy Land reported the visit and Ohio State's own schedule confirms Maryland is a home game. The same report put the Buckeyes in Ca'ron Williams' final 12, and one line of it does not match the board it cites.
Land-Grant Holy Land reported on Monday that Ohio State's five-star edge rusher, a commit since December 29, plans three trips to games this season. His 247Sports page logs one visit. Ohio State has seven home dates, and the two rankings printed on that same 247Sports page have him first and third.
The Cincinnati Princeton running back is committed to Miami (Ohio). He rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns and caught an 88-yard touchdown against Moeller on August 20, then five schools offered him in the next five days. Ohio State was not one of them. He is the first new 2027 running back name on this beat since David Gabriel Georges chose Tennessee on July 22.
Ohio State's five-star receiver commit transferred back to Wayne in August, and the OHSAA opened its infractions report on Thursday. Per the Cincinnati Enquirer, Tim Stried says he drew one one-game suspension at each of the two schools. The Dayton Daily News prints the two football rules the report cites, and one of them is the NIL disclosure bylaw.
247Sports named its preseason high school All-America team on Tuesday and three of Ohio State's 19 commits are on it. Jacobs was one of four finalists for national player of the year, and one of the other three is the running back who picked Tennessee over the Buckeyes in July.
The Oviedo, Florida three-star picked the Buckeyes on June 27, a month after the offer arrived. Eleven Warriors named the next two targets that same afternoon: Monshun Sales chose Indiana on July 17, and Benny Easter Jr. is still pledged to Texas Tech.
