Ohio State lands the nation's No. 1 safety in the 2026 class as Blaine Bradford commits to the Buckeyes.

Suck it Saban.
Apologies to those who read this before it went to Blog Heaven.
Ohio State defeated Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl. How have the Buckeyes fared against the Tide in recruiting since 2012? Over the next couple of weeks I will compare Ohio State's and Alabama's recruiting by position during the Urban Meyer era.
Between 2012 and 2015 Ohio State signed 6 Defensive Tackles and Alabama signed 12 Defensive Tackles.
